Summary

The rule today is: " fx-31 (Mandatory) Context: SideRates (complex type) [same-currency-scheme((baseCurrency,currency1SideRate/currency,currency2SideRate/currency))] baseCurrency != the values of both currency1SideRate/currency and currency2SideRate/currency. "

The problem is that precedence operators (parentheses) are missing.

1st possible interpretation is: "(baseCurrency != currency1SideRate/currency) and (baseCurrency != currency2SideRate/currency)"

2nd possible interpretation is: "baseCurrency != (currency1SideRate/currency and currency2SideRate/currency)"

Secondly what does "the value of" mean? Why is this necessary?

Proposed solution of: " fx-31 (Mandatory) Context: SideRates (complex type) [same-currency-scheme((baseCurrency,currency1SideRate/currency,currency2SideRate/currency))] (baseCurrency != currency1SideRate/currency) and (baseCurrency != currency2SideRate/currency) "
