re: FIX 4.2 DTD and XML

17 Sep 2003 3:39AM ETAs far as I know, there is no real support for XML within FIX 4.2. A quote from the last 4.2 specification (fix-42-with_errata_20010501.doc) says:
"The FIX Technical Committee has added two new fields XMLDataLen and XMLData to the Standard FIX Header to facilitate the creation of FIXML pilots.
The FIXML Working Group has been conducting a “proof of concept” pilot project to demonstrate evolution of FIX tag-value application messages to FIXML, a markup grammar based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML). This pilot, following the FIXML white paper and FIXML DTD, is the third deliverable in the process of creating a FIXML standard for the FIX Protocol"
So, the tags are only there for "proof of concept" purposes.
I have never seen the FIX 4.2 FIXML DTD as mentioned above and it's not listed in the Specification section of the www.fixprotocol.org website. Maybe someone from the Technical Committee can help out on this???

John
