Probably not, but on the other hand... a CW signal with clicks occupies
more bandwidth than necessary. It is surprising that the same folks that
are vehemently opposed to an SSB signal taking up more bandwidth than
absolutely necessary for communications-- and that cite the famous Part
97 rule to that effect to bolster their argument-- are not also going
after clicky CW signals with the same fervor. In other words, "wideband
SSB" is not okay, but "wideband CW"? Eh!

I think you've just answered your own questions, Tom.
