I'm validating resource instances using the Java command-line validator, and have so far been unable to resolve this error:

  Error @ Patient.communication.language : None of the codes provided are in the maximum value set http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/simple-language (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet/simple-language, and a code from this value set is required) (codes = http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages#en)

This is an example of the element that's raising the error:

...
   "communication":[
      {
         "language":{
            "coding":[
               {
                  "code":"en",
                  "display":"English",
                  "system":"http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/languages"
               }
            ],
            "text":"English"
         },
         "preferred":true
      }
   ],
...

This also happens with patient instances from Grahame's server. Is this a known issue? Any ideas about how to resolve it?

I suspect the issue might be with using a ValueSet URI in the "system" element, which should never be done, though this specific error might be caused by a different issue. You can try "system":"urn:ietf:bcp:47" instead and see if this works.

Right. "system" should never contain a value set.
