However, ePAPR requires that a node name with @n also have a reg property
with the same n value.  See ePAPR 2.2.1.1.  This statement in it seems
to be particularly clear on this subject:

"The unit-address must match the first address specified in the reg
property of the node. If the node has no reg property, the @ and
unit-address must be omitted and the node-name alone differentiates
the node from other nodes at the same level in the tree."
