I support the proposal specifically the expansion to additional types of derivatives and the use of a machine readable data language. Derivatives have grown to over shadow the securities themselves by orders of magnitude, anything that adds to transparency wrt. Derivatives is good to ensure a free a fair and transparent market. Also, making the data easily readable by software tools is key once again to a fair and transparent market. This is the 21st century, the volume of data to work through is massive, data should be formatted to be read by computer software.
