            Element.extension : May be used to represent additional information that is not part of
             the basic definition of the element. 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 can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL
             be met as part of the definition of the extension.
