             be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless:  Those
             properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of &quot;unknown&quot;. (E.g. a
             local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown') Those properties further qualify
             the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of &quot;H&quot; and a URL
             prefix of &quot;tel:&quot; to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)
