      We will incorporate the proposed wording with one minor change:

      If a reference value in an instance does not reference a known instance, the value is used directly. For example, if the subject of an Observation is Reference(Alice), and Alice is not the name, id, or URL of a known Patient instance, the reference resolves to the literal string "Alice".

    Description

      Replace "an existing" with "a known"; clarify what is "does not name" means

      Existing Wording:

      If a reference value in an instance does not reference an existing instance, the value is used directly. For example, if the subject of an Observation is Reference(Alice), and Alice does not name a Patient instance, the reference resolves to Alice.

      Proposed Wording:

      If a reference value in an instance does not reference a known instance, the value is used directly\. For example, if the subject of an Observation is Reference(Alice), and Alice is not the name, id, or URL of a known Patient instance, the reference resolves to Alice\.
