      Clarify that the intent is that a server will populate anything it recognises by data elements, but that servers may not know all the data elements, in which case, they don't popiulate the element (not an error, but may be an operation outcome). We can't be more specific about additional relationships for now, but will clarify them as they become clear based on usage experience.

      Existing Wording: This mechanism supports population of questionnaire instances on the basis of known data elements

      Comment:

      What does FHIR intend/expect with respect to resources linking to Data Elements? Does this sentence imply that a FHIR implementation of Questionnaire will "understand" a definition declared in any Data Element and validate against it? What about other resources (Observation, Patient, FamilyMemberHistory, etc. as mentioned earlier in the section)? Please say more about use of Data Elements with other resources.
