XML Schema of Lab Test Results

Question

Hi everyone,

We ran into a question about the schema of the Lab Test Results (v2) type. The schema documented at this link does not start from the top-level element <lab-test-results>, it starts one level below.

We are trying to figure out how many <lab-group> elements can be present inside the top-level <lab-test-results> element? Is it unbounded?

Thanks in advance.
