D-006 Must a deal that sends dealfloor or totalcost also send cur, when cur defaults to "USD"?

What the schemas do

No: cur absent is "USD", so the money always has a currency; the schema states the default and requires nothing more.

Options

• default-satisfies Chosen

  No: cur absent is "USD", so the money always has a currency; the schema states the default and requires nothing more.

• require

  Yes: every money value carries its currency beside it, so cur is required with dealfloor or totalcost, and its default is never used.

Why

The text gives cur a default, so a deal that leaves it out is in US dollars, and its money is never without a currency. Requiring cur anyway would reject deals the text allows. The schema writes default: "USD", which a receiver reads when cur is absent.

What we ask the specification to state

None needed: the default settles it. A receiver must apply "USD" when cur is absent, so the text could say so beside the default.
