Description: A text telephone - a telephone which is designed for use by the hearing-impaired

Notes:

  • x-text-fax is required to replace fax, since this has been deprecated by W3C.
  • hl7-att is associated with a series of rules that must be followed. These rules are documented in Datatypes R2
  • This domain is external and extensible, so documenting this simply clarifies consistent usage for these use cases.
