Existing Wording: ValueSet.status is required. However, the FHIR $expand operation uses the ValueSet resource as a baggage carrier for an expansion that is generated. There is no requirement that the operation populates the VSD elements, and if they are not populated (or even if they are) the values and interpretation of the existing code values do not make a lot of sense and are misleading in the context of the generated Expansion.

Proposed Wording: Clarify meaning and use of ValueSet.status when the resource is holding only and Expansion. Clarify what might be meant by a retired expansion with a different status of the VSD part of the resource. Or add a status element to the expansion section. Or have a separate expansion resource. Commingling them this wey has many issues.

Summary:

Clarify meaning and use of ValueSet.status when the resource is holding only an Expansion.
