Instead of custom validation built on traitlets. JSONSchema is a format designed to express precisely this kind of thing.
I haven't thrown all messages into one giant schema, because I think that will make unhelpful errors. In nbformat we deal with that by catching the errors and doing some extra work to produce more useful errors, but in this case I think it's more straightforward to break the schema up and use the appropriate parts for the message type.
