“any {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}} to which it is a party”: Business at the front; party at the back.

Now given that a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}} will generally be a deed of guarantee, letter of credit or some other third party form of credit assurance from a, you know, third party to which a Party in whose favour it is provided will not be a “party” — and no, an 1995 CSA is not a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}}, however much it might sound like one, one might wonder what the point would be of mentioning, in this sub-section, {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}}s to which a {{{{{1}}}|Party}} is party.

Well — and this might come as a surprise if you’re an ISDA ingénue; old lags won’t bat an eyelid — there isn’t much point.

But does anyone, other than the most insufferable pedant, really care? I mean why would you write a snippy wiki article about some fluffy but fundamentally harmless language unless you were a stone-cold bore?

Hang on: Why are you looking at me like that?
