| Id | Grade | Path(s) | Details | Requirements |
| cnl-0 | warning | EvidenceVariable | Name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation : name.exists() implies name.matches('^[A-Z]([A-Za-z0-9_]){1,254}$') | |
| cnl-1 | warning | EvidenceVariable.url | URL should not contain | or # - these characters make processing canonical references problematic : exists() implies matches('^[^|# ]+$') | |
| ele-1 | error | **ALL** elements | All FHIR elements must have a @value or children : hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()) | |
| ext-1 | error | **ALL** extensions | Must have either extensions or value[x], not both : extension.exists() != value.exists() |
