FHIR Chat · Hints for usage

After hearing @Simone Heckmann describe issues with clearly showing scope of interest in IG publication have been thinking about an ElementDefinition extension to hold a hint like 'ignorable' for profiling to indicate a hint that this profile does not care or consider the element as relevant for this profile. This would allow a filter on snapshot view to show only elements in the 'scope of interest' for the profile - is this a good/bad idea and has there been any talk on this? Not sure if we would need to distinguish elements that are ignored but will be passed through (i.e. may be stored or reproduced in client outpits) vs ignored entirely (accepted but not processed at all)

assume this is what we were talking about this morning @Brett Esler

@Brian Postlethwaite you're welcome to join the discussion during lunch. It's about how to render only "interesting/relevant" elements in a layered profile.
