I suspect if there was one, wide bandwidth, 10 kHz channel on each ham band for ALL high speed data, that would be accepted by most if not all hams. This is certainly less than what is currently "designated" by the different modes/protocols like winlink/pactor 3, wide olivia, ALE, etc.
Perhaps you should file a petition with the FCC that proposes one wide bandwidth 10 kHz channel on each band that operates in the fashion you describe and restricts all other modes on all other frequencies to 500 Hz bandwidth or less. I'll bet there wouldn't be many negative comments.
