But with rare exceptions (IARU, for example), our contests are single mode or
single band, and none use the WARC bands -- surely there is lots of
contest-free spectrum on almost every weekend.

Absolutely, but for some reason or other , people tend to stick to their
habits, have skeds or what not.
I think the goal must be to avoid confrontation and bad feelings towards us in
the contest community.
