Lowest common denominator would probably be a two meter HT. 

You are going at it backwards, Joe. I'm not trying to define a class
which would fit all existing stations, but rather which would fit many
if not most and - this is important - would give people a reasonable
target to aim for if they want to compete in the Limited Class. If
they want more, go to the Unlimited Class. If they're already in
Unlimited (as I am, having a four element quad), and they prefer
Limited, change the hardware to fit. Nobody would be forced to choose
one or the other and remain in it for life. Times change, people's
desires change and folks should be able to tweak their station to fit
in whatever class they like best.
