How is that going to work and how will end users be able to know that they can't plug a 5+ watt card on a incompatible housing ? Or do they negotiate over some bit so the card knows if it can boost beyond 5 watts or not ?

we did work out a system of "power negotiation with the chassis" for
the next revision of the EOMA68 standard: it becomes the
responsibility of the housing to get rid of heat, basically, when
power is permitted to go above 5.0 watts.
