Summary

The Short Form versus the Long Form of a contract should be standardized across the instrument classes. At the moment each instrument class does this differently.

# EQD - has separate complex types for Short Form and Long Form. # CDS - has one type and lots of constraints (validation rules) on a ShortForm precondition # IRD - not clear to me how it happens.

The CDS approach has the downside of a lot of rules to reproduce what could be done in the schema. This contradicts the AWG principle of expressing in schema in preference to validation rules where there is a choice.
