Yeah it's a little vague, but I think it means *fixed* as you describe.
The WMM spec describes them as fixed and also doesn't include the WMM
Parameter IE in beacons/probe responses, so all of this would be an
extension to the spec and we have to be careful not to break the spec
(default) case (which is correct right now, afaict, with default
parameters and no parameters IE)
Interoperating with FreeBSD would be useful though.
