Topic: Clarification on the use of expansion ParameterSource

During our ValueSet Expansion call today we were wondering how valueset.expansion.parameter.parametersource is used when the code is either server or codesystem as defined here: http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-expansion-parameter-source.html. We understand the use of parametersouce for input, which should be one of the input parameters listed for the $expand operation. But what are expected parameters that would be provided when the code is "source" and especially, when the code is "codesystem"? Some examples would be helpful.

server can add it's default settings for the parameters with a value of 'server'

my server has defaults for language, for instance

but the code system could specify some default behaviors too. The FHIR code system resource doesn't have a way to do that but it could easily arise from the snomed on FHIR work, for instance

@Grahame Grieve are you saying that your server would include ParameterSource=source, Language=EN? Do you have any that could be used for CodeSystem?

y. I don't believe I have any for any code system I have currently implemented
