string value that does not contain spaces.,
May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition
of the element. In order to make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a
strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any
implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL
be met as part of the definition of the extension.

to communicate "modifying" information that could be computable. (This is a
SHOULD because enforcing user behavior is nearly impossible).
