       of the element, and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it. Usually
       modifier elements provide negation or qualification. In order to make the use of extensions
       safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and
       use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is
       a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications
       processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions."/>
      <comments value="There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project,
       or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions.
        The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of
       simplicity for everyone."/>
