* R4 is also the first time we're expecting to have multiple "ballots" for FHIR core content. This means that there will be '''one''' FHIR specification hosted on the web. However, each page in the specification will identify both what level it's being balloted at (not balloted, draft, STU or normative) as well as which ballot it's part of. Multiple ballots are necessary to allow content to proceeed by different paths - balloting at different levels requires separate ballots and if there's a need to allow some content to be demoted to a lower level while other content remains on the normative path, that content needs to be packaged separately. | * R4 is also the first time we're expecting to have multiple "ballots" for FHIR core content.
