Note that this has obvious safety issues, in that it may result in a value set expansion giving a different list of codes that is both wrong and unsafe, and implementers should only use this capability reluctantly. It primarily exists to deal with situations where specifications have fallen into decay as time passes. If a  version is override, the version used SHALL explicitly be represented in the expansion parameters"

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
