Comments#

General
- Messages are NOT self-describing. There is a risk that message meta data change in a non-backwards-compatible way thereby causing production breaks. Except for perhaps scraping the web-site, there doesn’t appear to be an easy way to infer meta data.
Market data
- The are NO reference data !!!
