    Description

      Please see discussion at https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179266-fhirpath/topic/Date.2FTime.20comparison

       

      The spec statement that, "If one value is specified to a different level of precision than the other, the result is empty ({ }) to indicate that the result of the comparison is unknown." has been misinterpreted by multiple people. It should be clarified and additional expressions should be provided to exemplify the correct behavior.
