Description
At present the $validate-code operation returns a display for the client to use when displaying the code to a user. This is used quite a bit, but using it has thrown up a problem: when you pass the terminology server a code with no system (typically on code elements), or a CodeableConcept with multiple codings, the client doesn't know the source of the display, and sometimes this is useful.
The server should return system + code so that the client can know - if it cares - what the display being returned is for. In addition, if the client cares, or should also get the version the display is from.
Note that tx.fhir.org already does this, since this has proven operationally necessary in the generation of FHIR IGs
