      The statement that FSH has been designed around R4 and later remains true, as much of it was designed before R5 was released. That said, we will clarify the text to address any concerns or confusion regarding compatibility with FHIR R5. We suggest the following:

      The FSH language specification has been designed around FHIR R4 and later. The core language constructs of FSH depend primarily on a small subset of normative definitions within the FHIR specification (e.g., StructureDefinition, ValueSet, CodeSystem, and datatypes). As a result, most differences in FHIR versions do not affect FSH features or syntax. FSH provides several points of flexibility, such as FSH paths, to support authoring within the context of any FHIR version. Because the FSH specification refers to FHIR data types and definitional artifacts, however, there is no way to absolutely divorce FSH from specific FHIR versions.

    Description

      The FSH language specification has been designed around FHIR R4 and later. FSH depends primarily on normative parts of the FHIR R4 specification

      Does this needs be R5 instead of R4? All of the references (also links) are to R5 resources.

      Does this mean that R5 changes in the R4 definitions cannot be used in Shorthand (e.g. using carets)?

      I suggest to revise this section
