The 1995 CSA is not a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}}...

Note that a CSA[1] is not a {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Document}}, and you should not list it as one in {{{{{1}}}|Part 4}} of the {{{{{1}}}|Schedule}}, however satisfying it might be to do so. I mean it sounds like one, right? But no: the counterparty cannot be its own {{{{{1}}}|Credit Support Provider}}. The 1995 CSA is, rather, a {{{{{1}}}|Transaction}} under the ISDA Master Agreement. This is rather important to the whole issue of close-out netting. Deep ISDA lore.

Fun, huh?
