Rule80A (aka OrderCapacity) Usage by Market

Note that the name of the Rule80A <47> field is changing to 'OrderCapacity' as Rule80A is a very US marketspecific term. Other world markets need to convey similar information, however, often a subset of the US values. This appendix documents the market-specific usage of this field.
