In production usage, putting the granular observations inside the device observation resource means that the individual observations don't have an identity. Systems that wish to extract and use these granular observations have to re-identify them. The Condition for these systems is that this must be done consistently, else there'll be cloned observations, and the users will get confused by spurious copies of the data. Systems that need to re-identify the granular observations could do so using the Observation.identity element - *if* it's populated completely and correctly. But must easier to properly identify the observations first rather than making them contained ones (even though this is easier for the sender) --> <text> <status value="generated"/> <div
