 appreciated - very good point  this is the first time it's really
been discussed.  i'm already uncomfortable with the idea of having 5.0
watts in an enclosed space.  3.5 is okay.  i _was_ thinking of raising
the Housing limit to 5.5 watts, but was slightly concerned that people
would abuse the extra headroom.

 suggestions appreciated.... hmm... let me just add a section on the
specification / discussion on the elinux.org talk page to reference
this discussion...
