Invalid references to FIX tags

[kleihan]

The v1.1 spec makes references to FIX tags and user-defined fields that are inconsistent with their actual definition, e.g.

• tag 5009 to identify strategies (section 3.1 Element Hierarchy)
• tag 8000 for SampleRate, 8001 for Aggression (section 3.2 Parameter Description)
• tag 8005 for StartTime, 8006 for EndTime, 8007 for ParticipationRate (section 3.4 GUI Layout Description)
• tag 8300 for AlphaMode, 8301 for CustomValue (section 3.5 Flow Control Rules)
• tag 9050 for ExecService (section 3.6 Parameter-to-Control Bindings)
• tags 7000-7002 (section 3.7. Transport of Strategy Parameters)
• tags 5000-5001 (section 5 Attribute Definitions)
• tags 8001 for MktInCloseFlag, 8002 for CrossQty (section 9.1 Parameter Element Extension)
• tags 7602,7603,7620,7621,7640,7641,7642,7645 (resemble actual UDFs in this case) (section 11 (Sample FIXatdl Document)

Suggest to change such tag numbers to 20000 and above to avoid confusion, e.g. simply prefixing the numbers with "2".

8000-8499 are tag numbers reserved by FIX for regulatory purposes. Currently, 8000-8029 are defined (https://www.fixtrading.org/family-of-standards/user-defined-fields/)

Agreed.

V1.2 RC1 now has added 20000 to add tag numbers in the text and samples.
