If the policy is dynamic throughout the lifetime of the connection then
that's okay for best effort links.

I think applications (especially those that stream real-time data at
high rates) will need to know the currently available bandwidth.  This
will be useful for even simple file transfer profiles -- if that file
transfer is going to take 100x as long the user probably want to know
about this so they can (for example) turn HS mode on the other device.

This information could be conveyed in some sort of "channel move
complete" event or a more generic "available bandwidth changed" event.

Applications requiring guaranteed links will need some way of supplying
extended flow specifications.
