Yes, BATS could provide a quickfix-compatile XML. But they leave this 
up to you.	

You can use the FIX 4.2 XML for BATS for all the parts of the BATS spec 
that comply to 4.2. Only to support the BATS features that are 
non-compliant with 4.2 (trade breaks), you need to extend the 4.2 XML 
accordingly to generate something like a BATS-4.2 XML.
