Topic: Are optionPrefix values unique?

I would assume that optionPrefix values for a question's answer list items must be unique within that question, but the extension does not say so.

Prefixes might be identifying, but not necessarily. Consider a question that says "pick two single-star options and one double-star option" and then uses the prefix to specify either single or double-stars for each option.

Given that there's no computable use for the prefixes, I see no reason to impose a constraint on the overall resource. Profiles on Questionnaire could certainly do so.
