Self-enforcement will never fly.  As long as one competitor has the 
ability to push the envelope the others will do so in order to stay 
competitive.  The only thing that will fix the "problem" is uniform 
allocations globally.  Allowing most of the world to operate any 
mode, anywhere, any time will never work - bandplans or contest 
sponsors will not make any difference.
