    Description

      The UV Subordinate Substance Administration template says this for the doseQuantity:

      The used elements should contain a <translation> element that provides a reference to the originalText found in the narrative body of the document.

      So far, so good, except the examples then provide a translation without even a nullFlavor:

      Pre-coordinated consumable with text reference
      <doseQuantity value="2" unit="{puff}">
        <translation>
          <originalText>
            <reference value="#text-ref-1"/>
          </originalText>
        </translation>
      </doseQuantity>

      Textual dosage
      <doseQuantity nullFlavor="OTH">
        <translation>
          <originalText>
            <reference value="#text-ref-1"/>
          </originalText>
        </translation>
      </doseQuantity>

      It seems like if the point of these translations is "we just want to reference the narrative," maybe nullFlavor="OTH" would be appropriate? In any case, having them totally lack any attributes seems strange.
