Not quoting chapter and verse of any standard here, but if one were serious about controlling RE at these frequencies, the best approach would be controlling common mode conducted emissions on cables attached to the device, both power and signal.

The limit would be based on the field intensity that would result from such conducted emissions at a separation which is deemed proper for typical use. In this manner, all the variables that would befuddle the test engineer are subsumed in a limit which is based on the maximum field intensity from a radiating cable; a simple problem susceptible to a closed form solution.

Indeed: that's what IEC/CISPR standards do, in most cases. One exception is fluorescent lamps, which are clearly large enough to produce current loop and thus significant magnetic fields.
