      We will change the data type on the identifier parameter to token.  We will add a new parameter called 'canonical', of type uri that is defined as "The canonical identifier for the questionnaire (optionally version-specific)".  Finally, we will change the type of the three 'Reference' parameters to have a type of 'token' instead.

      $populate, $populatehtml and $populatelink operations on a Questionnaire in SDC (https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/sdc/OperationDefinition-Questionnaire-populate.html) take "identifier" parameter, which has type of "uri".

      This parameter does not make much sense as it is since for "identifier" it should have "Identifier" type (which includes system, too).

      At the same time, there is no way to reference Questionnaire by its canonical URI.

      Based on discussion in FHIR chat (https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/topic/Questionnaire.20.24populate.20.22identifier.22.20parameter), it seems like this "identifier" parameter was meant to be a way to reference Questionnaire by canonical.

      Suggestion:

      1. Rename parameter to "url".
      2. Make parameter type to be "canonical".
