		Luigi,
  I am in need of an arrears fixing swap. I assume you have given it some
 thought?
  My first thought was that it should be fairly simple to add an averaging
 xibor class which implements a fixing() method. Supplied with the
 periodStart and -End dates as well as the fixingDays, it can then calculate
 a fixing rate to pass back to the caller. This same could then be used from
 within the existing amount() method in floatingratecoupon. Does this make
 sense? 
  What I noticed is that floatingratecoupon uses the
 index->termStructure->dayCounter to determine it's period, whereas xibor
 uses it's own dayCounter, is this a market convention?
  This is of course only part of the problem - the whole issue of having
 fixingDates at the end need to be addressed as well.
  What is your feeling about this? Am I on the right track?
  I have a few other issues that I would like to run by you, can you maybe
 supply me with a phone number where I can contact you during office hours?
  Andre
