Right. I'm not even sure that all devices can disable it though, so we
may be in a bind here? I think ours (Intel) can't, for example, disable
FTM responder without disabling the AP (at least momentarily)...

Should we just ignore that? Or perhaps add a separate capability for it?

Maybe there's even hardware that cannot change the elements (LCI/Civic
location) on the fly?
