Topic: value set vs code system

committers: I just searched through the specification, and found 24 hits on the following search string:
Grahame Grieve (Mar 29 2016 at 20:16):
<system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/Valueset/
Grahame Grieve (Mar 29 2016 at 20:16):
this is *always* an error, but a number of you don't understand why, apparently
Grahame Grieve (Mar 29 2016 at 20:17):
what can we do to reduce people's confusion in this area?
Josh Mandel (Mar 29 2016 at 20:20):
Two alternative approaches might be:
1. Throw a build error any time the string <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset/ appears in the publisher output, with a link to a short explanatory web page
2. Allow FHIR ValueSets to directly define codes so that <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset/ is not an error
Grahame Grieve (Mar 29 2016 at 20:24):
#2 would increase the confusion, because then it would only be sometimes wrong. we couldn't make it always right
Grahame Grieve (Mar 29 2016 at 20:25):
#1 is something I'll do, but I can't detect all the logical errors this confusion creates
