The new field InstrumentPartyStatus conveys dynamic information as it can change "numerous times throughout the day". It seems that this information should not be part of the <InstrumentParties> block which conveys primarily static information about a security. I assume this information goes out on state change messages, i.e. SecurityStatus. It should then reside as a standalone field similar to SecurityTradingStatus and should be called differently. I suggest SecurityParticipationType or SecurityParticipationLevel. It would describe the type/level of participation (market making) a user can expect in this security. Additionally, one can define one or more market makers in the <InstrumentParties> block (nested inside the <Instrument> block when conveying reference data, e.g. with the SecurityDefintion message.
