Does it make sense to allow a CodeableReference with neither concept nor reference values?

      The CodeableReference documentation says: "In principle, this data type allows for either a reference or a concept, or both."

      CodeableReference.concept and CodeableReference.reference are each 0..1 (as they should be).  Does it make sense to ever have an instance of a CodeableReference where neither concept nor reference are present? If not, consider adding an invariant.  E.g.:

      concept.exists() or reference.exists()
