      Add a new property to the appointment which provides reqested date ranges (potentially including times) that the appointment is preferred to be scheduled. When using these values, the minutes duration should be provided to indicate the length of the appointment to fill (this will be an invariant).

      This may fall into the workflow, but how does one represent a request for a follow-up appointment via FHIR? The appointment resource has a proposed status, but the start and end date is intended to represent the beginning and end of an appointment. The workflow is a provider may ask a patient to schedule a follow-up visit, and the patient would recieve a reminder to schedule or confirm an appointment within a given time range.

      I would suggest that the start and end date definition be changed to allow for a proposed begin range and a proposed end date to shcedule an appointment.
