Summary

We don't need to duplicate the text "masterConfirmation" in the child elements of the "masterConfirmation" element. The parent element already names the context. I'd expect to see:

masterConfirmation/type masterConfirmation/date masterConfirmation/annexDate

This issue applies not only to masterConfirmation but other existing types in FpML 4.2, in which children elements are prefixed with the name of the container element.

Changing this will imply a non-backwardly compatible change so this needs to be done in the next major version.
