Nope - because Morse operators, in general, voluntarily stay
out of the 'phone/image subbands.

Ah, yes, I see. The hams have VOLUNTARILY sorted out where to transmit.
In
other words, a regulation wasn't needed. What a concept!

But would U.S. phone ops VOLUNTARILY stay up the bands and out of the
segments historically inhabited by the CW and digital users if they
were not restrained from doing so?

Not in our lifetimes.

No more than CW opperators stick in the bandplans at VHF during FD I
was having to deal with CW sent well out of the bandplan on 6m

I worked 6m over FD including that wonderful band opening and had no problem
with out of bandplan 6m. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the CW allotments
of the bandplan?

Excerpt from http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg...ndplan.html#6m

50.0 to 50.1 -- CW, Beacons (by regulation CW only)
50.1 to 50.3 -- SSB, CW
