    Description

      The usage notes for ElementDefinition.isSummary say " Note that servers may pre-cache summarized resources for optimal performance, so servers might not support per-profile use of the isSummary flag.".  However, the dagger in https://build.fhir.org/elementdefinition.html#interpretation (and the tooling) say that isSummary can't change.  We need to clarify/harmonize
