For example, I recently updated our IDS to version 47 to obtain the new Inductive Heating Flash.

When critical calibrations become available for things like recalls, the calibration updates typically require a software update as well. I also believe this process is a part of the overall concept of keeping your software and calibrations current. (on your machine) Once you have it you don't need to download it again and the calibration may be used up until a revision is released to replace it and the process begins again. If IDS checks the vehicle calibration against the list, and an update is available, it goes and downloads it and then stores it where it remains available locally. It seems to me that there might actually be a "list" that you get of available calibrations. You still need to manually update your calibration files after a software version update but not all files make it into the files you download. It appears that keeping your software up to date helps keep your calibrations up to date, sort of. This is normal and it happens with WDS as well. Until this time, I was under the impression that all calibrations were kept on the HD.
