Looking at https://www.hl7.org/fhir/validation.html and in particular Screenshot-2020-06-13-at-05.51.59.png
It mentions CapabilityStatement, is that part of the FHIR Validator? Some ideas on it's use:
In my HAPI JPA servers I've been using CapabilityStatements to control how a server validates. So if I receive a Patient, I would look at this to find the profile I support and then validate the resource against this (ignoring the supplied resource.meta.profile).
In addition for message bundles (not hapi jpa) I would use CapabilityStatement to check messages received against MessageDefinitions I support. Then control validation of the Bundle via the matched MessageDefinition. So if MessageDefinition says MedicationRequest profile A, I validate MedicationRequests in the Bundle against profile A).
Does this behavior sound correct?

I have a todo to publish an agreement from Sydney about how to extend CapabilityStatement to map between resources and profiles they should conform to

@Dave Barnet @Marcus Fearnett any thoughts? I'm planning to add MessageDefinitions to my work and we should suggest FHIR Server behavior is similar to above?
