I use the same approach and it works fine.
However, unfortunately, there is one case when the first field of a repeating group is NOT required. In Allocation message:
124 NoExecs
17 ExecID - non-required
32 LastShares - required if NoExecs > 0
31 LastPx - required if NoExecs > 0
29 LastCapacity - non-required
I believe, it would make to introduce a negligible
change to the spec and change the position of field 17 (ExecID) in this repeating group.
This would make all repeating groups consistent.
