SN74AUP* datasheets -- 'delta' Icc parameter under 'Electrical Characteristics'.

What is the meaning of the DIcc parameter? How is this parameter measured? The I(input) spec is 0.1uA MAX @ ambient(for example). The DIcc is 40uA @ ambient. Why is the current so high in this scheme? How would the DIcc apply in a circuit environment?
