Girish,

I believe Hanno's definition of a "Cross Order" is correct (a single firm's desire to cross two sides of their own order), and that what you are describing is a "crossing facility" (or "internalization"). I would expect users of such would simply send New Order - Single messages for their individual orders (and may designate that they want to access or participate in the crossing service via attributes on the New Order Single message).
