@John Moehrke can you respond on the IHE question?

thanks for the poke. I almost never wander over there.
John Moehrke (Dec 11 2017 at 13:15):
The FormatCode is a sub-classification beyond mimeType. So right now FHIR documents in a DocumentReference would need only be specified using a mimeType. see https://healthcaresecprivacy.blogspot.com/2017/01/fhir-documents-in-xds.html But eventually we will get to more refined 'profiles', implementationGuides, and StructureDefinitions for documents. At that time it becomes more obvious what to use for mimeType. The recommendation of using the URI of the StructureDefinition is a good one. If one doesn't have a profile, then I guess the degenerate form is indeed the StructureDefinition from the core FHIR specification.
John Moehrke (Dec 11 2017 at 13:24):
lastly, IHE just last week added a new formatCode for use when no more specific formatCode is available, and where the mimeType is sufficient urn:ihe:iti:xds:2017:mimeTypeSufficient
