FIXML for Fixed Income (Repo)

Imported from previous forum

[ original email was from Tim Miller - timothy.miller@bankofamerica.com ]
I am wondering whether anyone has created a DTD file for FIXML representation of the extra fields proposed by the Fixed Income workgroup in "FIXMessagingforFixedIncome1.2.doc"? I would like to use FIXML for Repo trades. I would like to add extensions to FIXML such as <NominalValue> <TradeNumber> <Entity> <CollateralDescriptor> <DaysBasis> <RateType> <BargainConditions> <SettlementType>? Has anyone already defined these? Is it possible to submit new fields for enumeration?

This work (adding Fixed Income changes to the DTD) will be undertaken as part of the FIX 4.3 draft and release process this summer (final release is scheduled for Aug 24) as the Fixed Income enhancements are slated to be incorporated in to FIX 4.3. It should be straightforward to apply/use the FIX 4.3 DTD changes for the Fixed Income changes to an existing DTD using it in a custom manner.

We welcome any help and ideas you have on how best to accomplish this. Thanks.
