Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

v: There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

short:

definition:
  v: Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.
comment:
  v: 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](location.html#) resource). This element is relevant when there is potentially a collection of addresses and a need to differentiate the purpose of each. When this type is used on an element or extension where the 'purpose' of the address is implicit in the extension definition, 'use' will typically be omitted.

    v: 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. The ISO21090-codedString may be used to provide a coded representation of the contents of strings in an Address.
  comment:
    v: Note: address is intended to describe postal addresses for administrative purposes, not to describe absolute geographical coordinates. Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the [Location](location.html#) resource).

  definition:
    v: Distinguishes between physical addresses (those you can visit) and mailing addresses (e.g. PO Boxes and care-of addresses). Most addresses are both.
  comment:
    v: 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](location.html#) resource). This element is relevant when there is potentially a collection of addresses and a need to differentiate the purpose of each. When this type is used on an element or extension where the 'purpose' of the address is implicit in the extension definition, 'use' will typically be omitted.
