I'd second Stephen Turner's assertion that Codes with limited
character are common for reference data. What now appears is a description rather
than a code which lends itself to many permutations of mistakes in replicating
or keying as there may be a need to escape characters etc. Codes are typically
alpha without spaces or other strange characters that must be escaped to
process. I'd recommend that all codes consistently adopt the following
base type restriction of codes as used in the xsd: <xsd:restriction
base="xsd:NMTOKEN"> <xsd:pattern
value="[a-zA-Z,_,\p{N}]*"/> </xsd:restriction>

[mailto:owner-awg@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marc Gratacos An issue has been raised regarding
the characters being used in code lists such as the commodity reference price,
floating rate index, the commodity business calendar, and possibly others: Some of these values such as the commodity reference price,
are extracted directly from the ISDA Definitions. The source of these values is
ISDA and not FpML. Limiting the character set would mean that we'd need an
additional mapping between the ISDA and the transformed FpML codes. Technically, I don't see why we should limit the character
set but I may be missing something. Any thoughts? The information contained in either this email and, if applicable,
