  | - Elements differ in short: 'Additional content defined by implementations' vs 'Extension'
 - Elements differ in definition: 'May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. 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 can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.' vs 'An Extension'
 - Element minimum cardinalities differ:  '0' vs '1'
