Object Parameters (used in TP04) required some data to be transfered with the 
Object Description frame for some types of parameter. Order Parameters don't 
put any data in the Order Description frame, hence the <descstruct> tags are 
empty. And I thought there was no <descparameter> tag in Order Description, 
but there is. It is unused.

The descparameter tag pulls a single parameter type's descstruct in, with 
whatever relevant data to all uses of that object type. Note that order 
parameters have no descstruct, therefore no extra data gets packed.

The useparameters tag pulls into the frame each parameter's usestruct data in 
turn with the data for that one particular order/object.

Hope this helps.
