    Description

      https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/4-implementers/topic/Person.20linking

      http://build.fhir.org/person.html#linking says the following:

      The link element cannot be used to link to RelatedPerson entries, so we can use a Person resource to relate these elements together identifying them as the same individual.

      Shouldn't the first sentence say, "the link element can be used..."? Person.link can contain a reference to a RelatedPerson as well.
