I don't think we should be defining a binding without understanding what
it is supposed to mean.

This still doesn't say what the value is supposed to mean which means
it's not possible for someone to write generic code which handles the
binding - saying that people can reference the value doesn't tell them
how to interpret it.  A limit?  A nominal constant draw value?  A value
to regulate to?  Those are all different things expressed as a current.
