      Most systems won't store systolic and diastolic observations separately.
      They'd usually be two fields in a database or something like that. The 
      FHIR interface treats these as separate observation for consistency 
      purposes (makes query easy). But that doesn't mean that the systems 
      have to really do that internally. This example implies a system that 
      appends -d or -s to the id of the base observation for the individual
      components. 

      This implies that you can operate on them separately, even though
      this would probably not be true. It would be up to the implementing 
      system to decide how to manage this (e.g. readonly, so there's no 
      update operations to worry about)
