Wanted to recommend renaming some of the datatypes in order to integrate with the TD spec more closely. Also would like to propose some data types be considered for deprecation in the next version of FAST (post 1.1 at the soonest):

Unsigned Integer
Signed Integer
Decimal (aka Composite Scaled Number)
ASCII Character String
Bit Vector
Byte Vector

Additional FAST 1.0 Data types likely to be deprecated in a future release
 Unsigned Integer without Null
 Signed Integer without Null
 Scaled Number
