Mote that this isn't the identifier for the LOINC codes themeselves - they belong to LOINC, and 
            it has its own identifier. This is the identifier for this set of codes, and that doesn't 
            change the codes.

      if we didn't specify the version of LOINC on the include, then
      we could specify it implicitly by specifying the locked date for the value set

            So we show this example here, but it's not actually necessary since we also 
have LOINC version. Note: if you do what this example does, and specify both,
            you better get it right, and specify the current version of LOINC at the time

                                    You have to be very careful doing this; it's all too 
                                    easy to specify a different or lesser meaning, and then
                                    people use codes wrongly ()with obvious consequences for clinical safety)

                              You're allowed to do this in a value set for 2 reasons:
                                      - people do it anyway
                                            - it does make sense to remove common text that's fixed in the context

                        In this case, that's what we're doing here - removing
                                    'serum/plasma' from the names, since that's specified in the
                                    value set name    -->
