Just some comments. Regarding the LSB (and LSB was specifically mentioned)
limit, if some signal gets out below the phone band limit, it is still in a
ham band and does not interfere with other services.

While the FCC doesn't enforce things like they used to, you would get a citation in a heartbeat if your sideband stuck down outside the phone area. It is still illegal today.

The FCC does NOT and never has considered the "carrier" frequency as the operating frequency on suppressed carrier. They never have allowed audible modulation products to extend outside the authorized frequency range of a mode.
