Description
Consider promoting the elements under DocumentReference to Resource-level elements. The context backbone element adds no value; it is 0..1 and the only reason for it to be present is if the sub-elements are present. There is no particular grouping among the sub-elements, and they are no more "context" than the top-level elements type, category, relatesTo, or author are context.
