Hi Silje,

As you say, I think this a case of emerging clarity (or less fog of
confusion!!) as the various use-cases emerge. As the primary author of
both these archetypes, in retrospect I would probably keep inspired_oxygen
as DV_PROPORTION and change pulse_oximetry to DV_QUANTITY but!!! I do not
see any good argument for changing these now. We have to expect some degree
of inconsistency, and live with it, to avoid unnecessary breaking changes.
