Message: Iceberg ahead?

A lot of trades of a few hundred or so shares....and then 2 buys by Scotia at 13:27 totalling 8,000 with a "W" marker.

13:27:37 T 2.00 0.07 3,500 85 Scotia 7 TD Sec W
13:27:37 T 2.00 0.07 4,500 85 Scotia 2 RBC W

What does W denote?  Here's the definition provided at Stockwatch:  

W   By-Pass Trade Regulatory Trade – indicating the "hidden" or iceberg portion of the order was not satisfied. Depending on whether the trade was used to move the price down in accordance with UMIR, or the ByPass Cross was put up, it may or may not set the last sale price. Please use the K marker to determine the last sale price. They are also included in the volume, value, and number of transactions.

Is there an even larger buy side order hidden from view?  I'm sure longs are hoping, I know I am.
