      We will add wording to the extension to say that, if there is no child display item with an item control of unit and there is a 'display' element for the Coding, Form Fillers SHOULD take the display value and use that as unit text when rendering the question.

      It should be possible to specify unit information on a questionnaire item in a single place. Since this extension contains a Coding, it can be used to contain both the computable unit code and a human-friendly display string. In the odd cases where the Questionnaire designer wishes to use a different display string, itemControl's "unit" can be used to override what is displayed, but we should not force even unit-bearing question to specify the unit in two different extensions.
