@Dan Gottlieb I've been updating the documentation in the FHIR spec to match your documentation at https://github.com/smart-on-fhir/fhir-bulk-data-docs/blob/master/README.md. There's no need for the "_since" and "_type" parameters to have underscores in their name. We use underscores where the name is defined infrastructurally,so as not to clash with resource or operation specific names. in this case, the parameters are defined on the operation directly, so they need not include the _

@Grahame Grieve I thought _type already is an infrastructure parameter?
Dan Gottlieb (Feb 07 2018 at 13:19):
Also, since _since keys off of modified date, it seems like it could apply to may different kinds of async requests. Does the underscore imply that it will work across all requests (which is false), or just more than one (which will probably be true)?
Josh Mandel (Feb 07 2018 at 15:11):
Yeah, I was arguing that we'd want the _outputFormat param at least to be an "infrastructure parameter" since it's intrinsic to the async request pattern (and we think any FHIR request can, in theory, be made async with this technique).
Grahame Grieve (Feb 07 2018 at 18:36):
_outputFormat is definitely an infrastructure parameter.
Grahame Grieve (Feb 07 2018 at 18:36):
and I agree that _type and _since are otherwise documented elsewhere and this is consistent with that - I should have twigged to that
