During recent discussions, a question came up concerning how to tunnel FIXML over the Tag=Value FIX session layer, either, say, 4.4 or FIXT.1.1. First, is anyone doing it today? Second, what MsgType is used? For a Trade Capture Report, would it be "AE" or "n"? The FIX 4.4 and FIXT.1.1 specs both say: "The generic MsgType field (tag 35) value of “n” (lowercase n) for "XML message (e.g. non-FIX MsgType)" can be used when transmitting XML content which is not defined with a FIX MsgType." So it seems clear that for an entirely non-FIX message, like FpML, MsgType="n" is required. But does this imply that a FIXML message needs to use the same MsgType it would use were it sent in Tag=Value format?
