For “Consumer systems SHOULD send the following parameters in the request: …type”. In DocumentReference.type this is 1..1 (Mandatory). So shouldn’t type be removed from that bullet point list and be included in the above “MUST” bulleted list? i.e:

• type MUST be included

DocumentReference.type is mandatory in the profile, however there is nowhere in FHIR that states that the equivalent search parameter must always be present. Our use cases require that this is a SHOULD.
