ARRL does include an oscillograph of a 60 wpm dit as well as a graph of the composite noise spectrum of the transmitted CW signal. But the average ham doesn't look carefully at this, or understand it.
In my opinion, they should develop a standard way of specifying the bandwidth consumed by a keyed CW signal, expressed as a single number. Then you could compare transmitters and something problematic like the FT-1000 would stand out.
