Not only do I understand your reasoning, but I also agree.  Please do 
consider the following (from that same email):

This also introduces a new issue in crda of setting not only power 
limits but power limits based on modulation.  It is permitted to use 
DSSS up to 100 watts, however, OFDM is permitted up to 1500 watts.

Would it be an unreasonable request to have crda support modulation 
restrictions and power limit based on modulation restrictions?

Thanks,
Rick Farina
