I know we've talked about this before, but wouldn't it be better to add another OrdStatus (say, Unsuspend) so that anyone explicitly wanting to reactivate an order would need to specify the instruction? I think it's potentially dangerous to implement a method where the absence of one thing implies another (i.e. reactivating an order by sending a cancel/replace w/o the suspend instruction).
