Following the announcement of implementation of the Carequality-CommonWell interoperability collaboration, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Micky Tripathi ( @mickytripathi1 ) to discuss this development and put it in context. Micky is bullish on interoperability, both over the near term (the next 12-18 months) and the long term.

XDS Profile found in the FHIR specification: I would caution against the use of the xds profile in FHIR. So the only thing you will find there is minimal fixes to cause the FHIR specification to build. This means that the xds profile in FHIR might be right, but it might not. These mappings are pretty direct.
