19 Apr 2006 5:14PM ETI had thought about this, but it wasn't immediately clear to me how you could parse any FAST message without first having a template. How would the FAST message containing a template be parsed without first having a template?
I suppose we could standardize the template for transfering templates. Essentially reserve template id 1 for passing templates around, and all FAST engines would have this template preloaded. Is that what the document described?
