Proposed New 80 meter Bandplan for USA
3500-3540 = CW
3540-3560 = 500Hz BW All Modes.
3560-3580 = 500Hz BW All Modes. Including Auto.
3580-3600 = All Modes. Including Auto.

Proposed New Calling Frequencies
3539 QRP CW
3545+ PSK31
3548+ PSK63, MFSK16, Olivia500, etc
3552+ Hell, etc
Somehow I doubt the non-extra-class CW ops will go for a
15 kHz segment (3525-3540)
Since 25% of the non-phone band is extra-only, wouldn't it
make sense to designate some of the extra-only sub-band
as digital? Not all extra-class operators operate CW.

Proposed New 80
It seems to me that CW will be more toward the bottom of the band and
Data/RTTY will be more toward the top of the band. Sometimes CW will be
over the entire band and it is possible for Data, particularly RTTY
during a contest, to be over much of the band too.
I certainly do not expect the FCC
Well, my vote would be to restrict semi-automatic and automatic stations
to the top 20 KHz or less in the below proposal. And just have the rest
be all modes less than 500 hertz.
Or wait until the NPRM comes out for the management by bandwidth where
the wider data modes would be permitted in the
