Yes, and I know what you’re thinking: that was worth missing the last train home for, wasn’t it.
It relates to the calculation of interest periods which, in the [[2006 ISDA Definitions]], are defined without reference to a particular duration: for example: “{{isdadefsprov|AUD-Swap Rate-Reuters}}”. To get your actual rate you need to apply a {{isdadefsprov|Designated Maturity}} — three months, or overnight, for example.
Trying, I know. Well — not so much ''trying'' as [[Tedious|stupefyingly ''dull'']] — and since [[LIBOR]] — cue the [[dramatic look gopher]] — is now going the way of all flesh, they’ll probably have to rip up and redo the {{eqdefs}} anyway. It would be fun to see the look on Linklaters’ faces if someone says, “hey let’s do the whole thing in [[FpML]]!”

Yes, and I know what you’re thinking: that was worth missing the last train home for, wasn’t it.

Trying, I know. Well — not so much trying as stupefyingly dull — and since LIBOR — cue the dramatic look gopher — is now going the way of all flesh, they’ll probably have to rip up and redo the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions anyway.
