Inconsistent use of 'messages' vs 'elements' to describe Phenopacket building blocks
Phenopackets' building blocks are sometimes referred to as ‘messages’ and sometimes as ‘elements’ in the docs. For example, ‘Individual’ is called an element (here), while ‘File’ is called a message (here). I think ‘element’ is better, more in keeping with the ‘building block’ analogy, ‘message’ is more protobuf terminology.
