Summary

eqd-7 states:

"eqd-7 (Mandatory) The elements in bermudanExerciseDates/date should be in order, earliest date first. "

Is this ascending or descending order? Presumably it is the order defined by the default collation in XPath 2 for dates, and not strings?

Notes:

    This rule should be deprecated.

    By deprecating eqd-7 we have made it possibe for duplicate bermudan dates to present within the list and pass validation without detection. They would have been found by the old ‘x(i) < x(i+1)' rule as a side effect of the ordering. The rule should be reinstated in a modified form that checks that every bermudan date is unique.

    Ignore last comment – eqd-10 does the job.
