[Quickfix-developers] Tag 55 Symbol

[Bill R. Hr. <bil...@ra...>]

In the XML files (I verified it in FIX43.xml and FIX44.xml) tag 55 Symbol is
marked as mandatory. 
To remove this mandatory requirement is usually the first change I do after
receiving a new delivery of Quickfix.

In the FIX standard the tag is marked as not mandatory (4.4, 4.3 unclear),
but the comments leave room for interpretation. I've an issue with this
field as we use always tag 48/22 to identify a security.

What are your thoughts? Should it be changed to non-mandatory in the XML
files?
