On slide 26 of tellado_1_0704.pdf (plot attached), which shows the proposed
frame alignment symbols, there is a light blue line which may be a little
difficult to make out (it's around -82 dB) but it shows the average data
symbol power. The peaks you are referring to are around 20 dB below this.
I don't think the FCC would be interested in them.
If you're concerned about the rep rate, it's below 1 MHz (1e10/52833 ~= 1.9e5).

Since the FAS peaks are more than 20 dB below the average signal power,
it probably isn't necessary to scramble them.
But I agree that whether the standard sinks or swims will relate to how
carefully we all do our work.
