      Required binding strength SHALL be used for elements with type code.

      to: 

      In most cases, required binding strength SHALL be used for elements with type code unless the element  has a context-free (binding.additional.usage not present) additional binding with purpose = maximum.  Exceptions to this rule need to be approved by the FHIR-I work group which will document the patterns that qualify as exceptions.

      ALSO

      A tooling issue exists that caused the second issue. Lloyd M. will enter a ticket.
