The 2016 {{tag|CSA}} generated at great expense by {{tag|ISDA}} to deal with all the regulatory obligations to post and collect [[variation margin]] that have popped up around the world, like so many stable doors boinking emptily against their jambs while the ponies of financial ruin career wildly through the meadows of propriety.
The 2016 {{tag|CSA}} generated at great expense by {{tag|ISDA}} to deal with all the regulatory obligations to post and collect [[variation margin]] that have popped up around the world, like so many stable doors boinking emptily against their jambs while the ponies of financial ruin career wildly through the meadows of propriety.
Part of the industry was to remove Independent amounts - it seeming like they struck rather at the heart of the regulatory aspiration, namely to collateralise [[mark-to-market]] exposures. But then everyone decided they quite liked their initial margin, as long as it wasn't *too* much. So ISDA prepared a version with Independent amounts as well. Then they decided not to publish it. All this during the crescendo to a full-bore bunfight papering all ones clients as a “seemingly immutable”<ref>We’ll see</ref> deadline stood menacingly like an unforgiving concrete wall to the sideways-sliding Morris Minor of the world’s derivatives documentation capacity.
