I am working through all the example valid and invalid test documents. I have noticed that where a rule has been deprecated, then the valid/invalid test case documents have not be removed from the repository. I propose that when a rule is deprecated that it’s appropriated (necessary) to also remove the example test case documents … Continued

Rule ird-7: ” Preconditions: isParametric calculationPeriodAmount/calculation/compoundingMethod exists if and only if the frequencies in paymentDates/paymentFrequency and calculationPeriodDates/calculationPeriodFrequency are different. See also: frequency equivalence. ” There could be two possible interpretations: if frequencies in paymentDates/paymentFrequency and calculationPeriodDates/calculationPeriodFrequency are different, then calculationPeriodAmount/calculation/compoundingMethod MUST be present OR if frequencies in paymentDates/paymentFrequency and calculationPeriodDates/calculationPeriodFrequency are different, then calculationPeriodAmount/calculation/compoundingMethod COULD … Continued

In general, the loosening of restriction, or the adding of … Continued

Looking at the proposed rule shared-18 it is apparent that the structure of 1..* parties in a message is very common and could do with refactoring into a type. Some degree of refactoring would make rules such as shared-18 much simpler. “The new rule is: ” shared-18 (Mandatory) Context: AcceptQuote (complex type), AllocationAmended (complex type), … Continued

A rule is needed to enforce disjoint dividend periods. This would prevent dividendPeriods overlapping. The new rule is: ” eqd-30 (Mandatory) Context: DividendAdjustment(complex type) Rule: Each dividendPeriod must have a disjoint unadjustedDividendPeriod from every other dividendPeriod. The unadjustedDividend period starts with the unadjustedStartDate and finishes with the unadjustedEndDate. A period is disjoint with another period … Continued

There needs to be a new rule that ensures stepDates are unique to a Step. The new rule is: ” shared-25 (Mandatory) Context: Schedule(complex type) [count(step) ge 2] Rule: step/stepDate must be unique. Comment: Each step happens on a separate date. “
