    Description

      Citation has `Citation.status` which has required binding to PublicationStatus valueset.

      Citation also has `Citation.citedArtifact.currentState` which has extensible binding to CitedArtifactStatusType valueset.

      The codes between two valueset are not totally aligned which is understandable.

      That bring a problem that when Citation cites another Citation, the status of cited Citation could not be mapped to citedArtifact.currentState completely. Since PublicationStatus is widely used by many FHIR resources, I think this would a common problem when Citation cites another FHIR resources.

      citedArtifact.currentState is a extensible binding which means that additional code could be used if not available but this is not a optimized solution.

      I recommend that definition of CitedArtifactStatusType should be updated to include values from both code systems:

      There are some overlaps between these two code systems but I think those could be addressed easily.
