Clear as mud, those rules

With talk of TFC possibly adding a mid-season DP, there is some confusion as to what that might mean for the cap.

With thanks to "Aljarov," a regular poster on the U-Sector boards (among others), here is the breakdown:

From MLS directly:

Designated Player (“DP”) Salary Budget Charge: In 2009, the DP charge is $415,000.

Second Designated Player (“DP”) Salary Budget Charge: In 2009, the second DP charge is $335,000.

Mid-Season Designated Player (“DP”) Salary Budget Charge: In 2009, the Mid-Season DP charge is $210,000.

yep, and a way around the DP cap hit being so burdensome is to use allocation money to reduce other players' contracts.... almost the same as just knocking down the 415 or 210 with allocation, but for some reason MLS doesn't allow that directly.
