Topic: Binding to external value sets

So I noticed in another IG I was using (ODH) that they have extensible bindings to external valueSets (I think it was a PhinVads link). I thought this would be great to do as it means that the value set isn't tied to the IG (i.e. all codes hard coded in a value set in the IG forever) and as long as the link doesn't mention a version, it's like a dynamic binding.
However once I actually use a code from the value set in an example the IG Publisher gives you a warning:
warning ValueSet https://phinvads.cdc.gov/vads/ViewValueSet.action?oid=2.16.840.1.114222.4.11.4239 not found by validator
This never came up in the ODH IG because they didn't include any examples.
Are these warnings acceptable for publication? Is this an "approved" way of binding to value sets? Is there a better way to achieve what I want to achieve (ability to link to a valueset that is likely to change)?

yes that is acceptable for publciation
Grahame Grieve (Dec 19 2019 at 01:42):
there is no better way - phinVads requires individual authentication so can't be used from the build tools

Would the same be true for VSAC value sets?
