      it's not about importance; systems is obivously important. it's about the fact that you can put a negating value ('bad') in the use. If we defined a system for 'unusable device' then it might become a modifier.

      Is Modifier true (Reason: This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary or old contact etc.for a current/permanent one)

      Requirements

      Need to track the way a person uses this contact, so a user can choose which is appropriate for their purpose.

      Comment:

      Summary:

      Clarify ContactPoint isModifier use.
