      Change the first paragraph text to:

      For example, for CodeSystems that are part of the FHIR specification, CodeSystem.url is the url where the CodeSystem may be accessed in the FHIR specification.   However, while a new version of the FHIR specification is being prepared, new code systems that are published in CI build versions will not be found in the released FHIR specification version.

      REMOVE the second sentence (that starts with "Because it is common practice...."

      Change this sentence that appears in the same section, below the text above

       Because it is common practice to copy (cache) code systems locally, most references to code systems use the canonical URL.

      To:

      Most references to code systems use the canonical URL because it is stable and does not change from one FHIR server instance to another.

    Description

      In the section 4.8.3.1 CodeSystem Identification, there are two paragraphs with inconsistent descriptions for usage of the canonical URL vs the location ("literal") URL of Resource CodeSystem as following:

      ...
      Because it is common practice to copy (cache) code systems locally, most references to code systems can use either the canonical URL or the location ("literal") URL.
      ...
      ...(which includes the id element). Because it is common practice to copy (cache) code systems locally, most references to code systems use the canonical URL.
