Harold,
The EE can't state that the buss can handle more than 800amps. They must follow whats prescribed in 705.12(D)(2)

705.12(D)(2) says the added value of the breakers feeding a buss can't exceed 120% of its rated value.

This is probally why it was drawn on the original plan as a line side connection. But a line side connection would be in front of the CT cabinet for metering which is cold sequence connected with the 800amp main.

They can't connect before the cash register.

This happened in our area and the MDP was upgraded to an MDP with 1200amp bussing.

Anyway...keep us informed on how this works out.

Telsa, my last post was for you?
