I wouldn’t need dv\_paragraph conformance tests. Mainly because it’s deprecated.

I do have a NLP usecase where dv\_paragraph could have been a solution. [Semi structured narrative data](https://discourse.openehr.org/t/semi-structured-narrative-data/2007)

Our archetype editor does support dv\_paragraph, but I suspect our clinical app UI doesn’t. And I’d be surprised if it’s used in our real world archetypes. And we are not interested in our conformance test because openEHR is just a backend technology for our EHR suite, not something we market or sell as an ‘openEHR product’.
