Is this a valid message "new single order" for Fixml?

Here’s the message I got when using the MS xmlint.exe validation tool  
referencing the FIXML 1.2 DTD.

Message:  
Element content is invalid according to DTD/Schema.

Expecting: Sender.  
Line 00006" \<BeginString\>FIX.4.2\</BeginSrting\>  
Pos 00017 --------------^

Extensibility Instance also kicked it out.

Using your data I constructed this FIXML message. It validates against the FIXML 1.2 DTD using the MSXML parser September Beta release.

I believe the FIXTag attributes are not required (but if supplied must be correct) for a valid XML message.

On this website there was previously a sample FIXML message that looked like this:  
\<?xml version=‘1.0’?\>\<!DOCTYPE FIXML SYSTEM ‘fixmlmain.dtd’\>  
\<FIXML\>  
\<FIXMLMessage\>

[original email was from James Downs - [jdowns@xcaliber.com](mailto:jdowns@xcaliber.com) ]  
That is my understanding also as these attributes are defined as #FIXED in the DTD.
