      Adjust the DeviceDefinition.deviceNameType binding from Required to Extensible and add a statement that the jurisdiction must clarify which name is to be used as the registered-name plus indicate that as a result a device definition may have multiple names that are the same, but then used for different purposes per the name type and jurisdictional guidance.

      Apply the same change to Device.Name.type.

    Description

      There is a need to allow for additional name types and clarify that, while there may be additional name types, e.g., brand name, that the jurisdiction requiring certain use and reporting of a device name would indicate what name for the registered-name.   Thiat may be done through regulation and/or implementation guidance.
