910: working out which Term the PeriodEnum refers to

Following the last VWG Pam asked me to raise an issue for this. The question had already been put to Harry, who may respond. FpML defines an Interval using a period of type PeriodEnum.

IMHO The term “ACTUAL” has better support in the industry for date rolling conventions. This also avoids confusion with the other enumeration value of no convention of … Continued
