I have been finishing up my 3 remaining examples and going through a 
bunch
of sample confirmations that various group members have sent me 
(Chase,
Goldman, and BNP-Paribas).  I have noticed a few things that we 
might have
to deal with (which I'm writing up now and will come in a separate 
email),
but one item that I noticed was that on a lot of confirmations (for 
options
as well as non-deliverables), there is a line that looks like the 
following:

	Settlement:	<text>

		where the value of <text> will always be either
"Deliverable" or "Non-Deliverable"

I went to the ISDA 1998 FX & Currency Options Defintions document 
(the one
that I used the file splitter on last August), and all of their 
sample
confirmations contain this text as well.

As you know, we have implied that everything is deliverable, unless 
there is
the existence of the nonDeliverableForward element within 
fxSingleLeg or
cashSettlementTerms within fxSimpleOption.

I'm wondering whether this is OK, or if we should introduce a generic
element that would reference a scheme that contains values of 
Deliverable or
Non-Deliverable.

I don't have a problem with keeping things as is (less work, 
obviously) ...
I just want to make sure that the group is happy with what we've 
done ... if
not, we should make the change now.

Comments welcome (and encouraged) !!
