      Questionnaire is bound to ValueSet, but ValueSet needs to point to CodeSystem - and the code systems will often be specific for the Questionnoare or a set of Questionnaires. There are a set of extensions for CodeSystem that are relevant to Questionnaires that we need to call attention to and/or require support for.

      What is the purpose in profiling the CodeSystem resource? In a questionnaire environment, I wouldn't think CodeSystem would be a primary concern. It is more likely that the Questionnaire will be bound to a ValueSet. That ValueSet may make use of a CodeSystem, but to implementers they are going to be looking to terminology servers to provide the expansion to the valueset to display on the screen, rather than builing the expansion themselves based on a CodeSystem. Questionnaire doesn't appear to directly reference CodeSystem, either. So, I'm just not sure what the purpose of the CodeSystem profile is, or how, why and when it should be used.
