The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute)."/> <min value="0"/> <max value="1"/> <base> <path value="Resource.language"/> <min value="0"/> <max value="1"/> </base> <type> <code value="code"/> </type> <constraint> <key value="ele-1"/> <severity value="error"/> <human value="All FHIR elements must have a @value or children"/> <expression value="hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())"/> <source value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Element"/> </constraint> <mustSupport value="false"/> <isModifier value="false"/> <isSummary value="false"/> <binding> <extension url="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-bindingName"> <valueString value="Language"/> </extension> <extension url="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-isCommonBinding"> <valueBoolean value="true"/> </extension> <strength value="required"/> <description value="IETF language tag for a human language"/> <valueSet value="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/all-languages|5.0.0-draft-final"/> <additional> <purpose value="starter"/> <valueSet value="http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages"/> </additional> </binding> </element> <element id="Binary.contentType"> <path value="Binary.contentType"/> <short value="MimeType of the binary content"/> <definition value="MimeType of the binary content represented as a standard MimeType (BCP 13)."/> <min value="1"/> <max value="1"/> <base> <path value="Binary.contentType"/> <min value="1"/> <max value="1"/> </base> <type> <code value="code"/> </type> <constraint> <key value="ele-1"/> <severity value="error"/> <human value="All FHIR elements must have a @value or children"/> <expression value="hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())"/> <source value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Element"/> </constraint> <mustSupport value="false"/> <isModifier value="false"/> <isSummary value="true"/> <binding> <extension url="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-bindingName"> <valueString value="MimeType"/> </extension> <extension url="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/elementdefinition-isCommonBinding"> <valueBoolean value="true"/> </extension> <strength value="required"/> <description value="The mime type of an attachment.
