I have a question about the new parameter etsiEnSimultaneousChannelOperationRestriction and the phrase "If it is provided, the Device MUST NOT ignore it."
I can understand that if this parameter is provided and is set to "1", that the device must honor it (reduce output power when using multiple channels). But what if there is a device that "hard coded" to always apply the power restriction when using multiple channels? This "conservative" approach would always remain below the permitted emission limits regardless of whether this flag is set to "1" or "0". Are we saying that if this parameter is provided and is set to "0" that the device must not apply the multi-channel power restrictions? What does it mean to say "MUST NOT ignore it" in such a case.
