Summary

The PositionsAsserted complex type in fpml-reconciliation.xsd has two elements with the same name: "definePosition". This is legal XML Schema in this case because there is a choice between them. However this contravenes the FpML Architecture rules to quality a type with a unique name (name an element), see issue #603.

The first "definePosition" is used to specify a new position. The second "definePosition" is used to specify any type of position whether new or updated.

I propose we rename the new position "newPosition" to comply with the Architecture.

currently we have: Either start from scratch and define new positions, or just update and remove positions Indicates that this message replaces all previous positions for this portfolio. Used to specify a new position. Used to specify a position, whether it is a new or updated position. Used to remove a position from the portfolio.

I propose we change this to: Either start from scratch and define new positions, or just update and remove positions Indicates that this message replaces all previous positions for this portfolio. Used to specify a new position. Used to specify a position, whether it is a new or updated position. Used to remove a position from the portfolio.

    Discussed at the AWG. There was mix of views, but there was consensus that Andrew Jacobs would document his view in the FpML Architecture Document that messages should do not need to be normalized.

    Once documented in Architecture 2.1 this would resolve this issue.

    The modelling guidelines paper discusses the use of grammar to control content which this issue is an example of.
