Joel, while this sounds on the surface like simply greedy, there's a
scalability rationale too.

Radio-WAN capacity is about four orders of magnitude less than
terrestrial-WAN capacity.  Worse, the diff is likely to widen as the
limitations on terrestrial-WAN backbones are engineering while the
radio-WAN is approaching physics limitations.  

What you may get is indeed: 
> device simply say "I will use all of this
and the device indeed might use all -- in an inverse multiplex
fashion.  

In keeping with the intent of PAWS we should not impose a value judgment
-- the greed may be good or bad.  

(I'm not sure what the WG should be doing about this; simply an
observation at this point).
