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.

I noticed the response from Luca, but did not get back on this. I know
it is not the same, but what I meant is whether we could extend it so it
also covers your scenario.
