URLs with /RetrieveMultipleValueSets using the profile parameter support the following use case:

• Retrieve a temporary trial value set expansion of the most recently published value set definition based on your specified expansion profile label that you can specify using a profile parameter. A trial expansion does not exist in the public repository. If the value set definition is in draft status, the API will return no results.

• Value set definition version is the <RevisionDate> element.
• Value set expansion version is the value of the version attribute within the <ns0:DescribedValueSet> element. When version="N/A" this means you have asked the VSAC SVS API to perform a temporary trial expansion/calculation of either a definition version or of a draft definition. A trial expansion does not exist in the public repository.
