The standard is silent on whether Inquiry data is allowed to change when capacity is changed but the behavior of products I am aware of is that Inquiry data is not changed when the capacity is changed. if CID=0 the customer gets current behavior (Inquiry data doesn't change) and if CID=1 then the Inuiry data is allowed to be changed.
