These are covered within the current FX OTC Options proposal. A Delta Basis 
field is proposed with three values:
0-unhedged
1-Spot hedge
2-Forward hedge

Right now, and I am not sure I am 100% on board with this - but I have been 
reassured by many more knowledgeable than myself that placing the greeks within 
the stipulations component is the right approach - so that is what we have 
proposed.

We almost put in the options pricing derivatives (greeks) in 4.4 and I pulled 
it at the last minute. I have modeled a separate component for them more than 
once and have been hesitant to move forward with the recommendation. 
Ambivalence abounds.

Please see the GFXC Tech Subcommittee draft for FX Options for further 
information. Feedback always appreciated.
