"Bid Request" Message Type in FIX 4.2

Hi,

A couple of questions about the "Bid Request" message type in FIX 4.2:

  1. Towards the end of the list, the 4th field from the end is tag = 58, Name = StrikeTime. Tag = 58, is named "Text". Should that be tag = 202, Name = StrikePrice instead?

  2. In the second repeating group, whose count field is NoBidComponents, the repeating fields, tag = 64, and tag = 1, have no indication as whether they are required or not? Is it correct to assume that they are not required in every repeating group.

Thanks,
Nikhil
