I thought I had all this down, but now fear that I'm losing my grasp on
these redefined values.

Loop/Segment/Element usage:
  Standard 4010;
    [C]onditional
    [M]andatory
    [O]ptional
  HIPAA;
    [N]ot Used
    [R]equired
    [S]ituational

Element Option (Requirement Designator) Attributes:
  Standard 4010;
    [C]onditional
    [M]andatory
    [O]ptional
  HIPAA;
    [M]andatory???
    [O]ptional???
    [X]Conditional/Situational???

There is a flaw in my understanding of the relationship between the usage
and option attributes.
What do these codes [M], [O] and [X] really represent?

Elements marked REQUIRED use all three codes.
