Matt,

Would be nice if vendors did that, however consider the following.

Wireless networks are extremely environment dependant, any throughput
measurement taken in a lab will be worthless to anyone unless they were using
the unit in exactly the same environment.

Wireless networks are much, much more environment dependant that wired networks
and no-one expects them to work at 100MB throughput, even if the structured
cabling has been certified.
