POST-MERGE COMMENT (forgot to add in the rush to get 2.0.0 released):

In the final review and approval of this PR, @JavierEspina explained how he approached the topic & not having been able to have a clear discussion with @MaryLJ beforehand. The group reviewed the changes, the original HL7 JIRA ticket and noted the lack of a formal IHE Style Guide (as stated in the original JIRA ticket), and after that discussion approved the change.

In subsequent email exchanges with Mary Jungers / IHE Documentation Specialist, she confirmed that there is no special IHE Style Guide and that she "tends to follow “The Chicago Manual of Style” conventions".

Therefore, we are confident that the changes applied in this PR fully meet the intent of the original HL7 Ballot commenter, and if not, another ballot may be submitted for the January 2025 cycle.
