She is consulting with her colleagues and will get back to say if they have any problem with there specification going into the public domain. It seems clear to me it is in everyone's best interest (including the Sydney Futures Exchange and TMI themselves) not to have a proprietry version of FIX for Futures and Options trading. As I understand it at present the main extentions to the existing 4.1 spec. concern extra fields for Commodities contracts
