Description
The fact that FHIR requires "male" and "female" means that every system that already implements with coded gender as coded term (e.g. M, F) will have to map to a text value. This both a problem national localization issue (because FHIR favors English) but also backwards compatibilty issue. Recommendation: allow coded gender to be use either in place of or alongside the label.
