Yes, similar but not quite the same.  The existing case is for finding
BSSs that are worth waking the host up for (while disconnected), so it
needs to be better than the RSSI passed (absolute number).  Now this is
about relative RSSI as compared to the current connection, so
RELATIVE_RSSI is different than RSSI and I think the same attribute
should not be used, to avoid confusion.
