It is impossible to reliably implement the FpML coding schemes because they are defined as being of arbitrary length. Implement the facets so a maximum length is established for coding scheme values.
Add an identifier base type for identifiers. This would be very useful for extending and querying.
The FpML architecture should be specific that there is no assumption that message sequence is preserved over the transport. There is potential for disagreement in implementations over whether message sequence is preserved. In practise no enterprise bus preserves sequence.
The length of a code value in an FpML coding scheme is undefined. This needs to be defined for implementations. I propose the code should have a maximum length of 20 chars. There should be a Schematron check on the code values in the build system.
Please deprecated productType. The information is redundant because it duplicates the productId and the parametric contents of the contract.
Provide a rules that prevents types derived from numbers being negative. This is easily expressible in XPath2.

Throughout the 4-3 branch the values “http://www.fpml.org/2005/FpML-4-2” and a version of “4-2” are used. Please change these to 4-3.
There are a number of contractual supplements being used in the latest version of the ISDA Physical Settlement Matrix that are not covered in the contractual supplement scheme. One of these is an election and so will definitely need to be passed in a messge supporting the confirmation of trades under the matrix. The applicabliltty … Continued
There is no clear distinction in the XML Shchema between the definition of something and the identification of something. A good example of this is Party at /FpML/party. In the schema it says “A type defining party information.”. In the FpML manual it says: “…this component is restricted to party identification.”. These two statements are … Continued
