Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmit Power Control (part of 802.11h) is already a requirement for 5GHz in many countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_allocation_schemes#DCA_...

Kind of. DFS is about sharing the 5 GHz band with incumbent radar installations. Basically how it works is that you have to listen for radars using the channel, and if you hear one, you have to get off the channel within a certain number of milliseconds. But DFS systems don't switch channels in response to other Wi-Fi networks, nor do they switch channels in order to optimize aggregate bandwidth.
