As I understand it, PAWS spectrum is described in terms of total power
output over a bandwidth of frequencies (typically these are 6mhz-wide
channels in the US, I guess?). This seems to assume that the devices will
all use the same sized chunks of the available spectrum and precomputes the
total power over those chunks.

I believe some devices could use shorter bandwidth chunks (say 100khz) for
various purposes. From what I can tell, they'll need to convert the
"maxPowerDBm" value (for the given "bandwidth" size) down to an appropriate
value for 100khz.

Wouldn't it be more general to just give the per-hertz spectral density
value here and let the device decide how much spectrum it wants to use and
compute the appropriate power output over that range?
