Description
I recommend we add a sentence to this section to explain that in the table of known identifiers, the "Type" column corresponds to the Identifier.type element. Currently the meaning of that column isn't defined anywhere on this page and it may not be clear to new implementers. The links in that column point to HL7 V2 Table 0203, so for the "United States National Provider Identifier" row it may not be obvious that the Type value is "PRN" because that concept is included in the IdentifierType value set and the more specific concept "NPI" is not.
