"settlement The settlement date."

Greetings!

Even assuming (perhaps incorrectly) a uniform semantic:

"settlement The settlement date."

is meaningless.

Standards are about *defining* semantics, for good or ill.

Perhaps, "... to boldly define where no one has dared to define 
before....." ;-)

Suggestions for a definition?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
