> Use TradingSessionID to designate the "divided entity/system".

Another alternate approach could be to use the FIX 4.3 MIC codes instead of Reuters codes.

My understanding is that, like a BIC code, the first part of the MIC code defines the firm, and certain parts of the MIC code are reserved for branches or divisions within a firm. LIFFE could provide distinct MIC codes for each of the three systems you mention.
