      We will clarify the documentation on the name elements, but they are intended to provide an identifier that can be used directly within languages such as Java and C#.

      Comment:

      ActivityDefinition.name = "A machine-friendly name for the asset"

      It is unclear why a "machine friendly" name is required.

      This is inconsistent with most other FHIR resources

      The concept "name" is conventionally used for user friendly descriptions

      Machine only cares about unique IDs

      Unless there is clear justification with examples, this element should be removed (one of the FHIR design principle is "lean", including elements that has not clear justification is not "lean")
