RE: FpML-IRD Re: Digital Cap/Floor



Phil,
 
I would have thought it would be more appropriate to build the additional info for the digital payout within the capFloorStream/calculationPeriodAmount structure itself rather than a bolt on outside since calculationPeriodAmount for all rates products contains all the info relating to calculating payment amounts. For example, why not add additional info into capFloorStream/calculationPeriodAmount/floatingRateCalculation structure?
 
The ExerciseFee type includes explicit payer/receiver info which isn't appropriate to define for example if you had a straddle structure rather than an outright cap or floor. Additionally, do you really need the feePaymentDate structure? Why wouldn't you instead be relying on the the payment dates defined by capFloorStream/paymentDates?
