Information | Location.identifier | Element minimum cardinalities differ: '0' vs '1'
Information | StructureDefinition.definition | Values for definition differ: 'Physical location.' vs 'An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.'
Information | StructureDefinition.comment | Values for comment differ: 'Additional addresses should be recorded using another instance of the Location resource, or via the Organization.' vs 'This is primarily used for the physical address of the location. The Organization however uses the address property for administrative purposes.'
Information | StructureDefinition.comment | Values for comment differ: 'The definition of Address states that 'address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations'. However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the [Location](http://hl7.org.au/fhir/base/2019Aug/location.html#) resource).' vs 'The definition of Address states that 'address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations'.
