Is there a way for the parties to a trade to specify which price source they are using for benchmarking data (whether for a curve or a specific security)? For example, buyer and seller want to trade a corporate issue against the 2YR; several IDBs are publishing a quote for the 2YR; on the phone, the parties would simply agree which source to use; how will that be specified through 4.4, if at all? Thank you!
