   It seems to me if you realise the Bell or dB is a RELATIVE LOG term of power   
   (and it's constituents) ratio's with no absolute UNLESS defined as a subset,   
   (eg dBv, dBu, dBm etc) then asking for a SINGLE absolute point of reference,   
   or single definition, is simply asking for the impossible.   
      
   dBFS is simply the *Full Scale* point of ANY system so defined. IF you want   
   it to mean anything specific, you must define it as such.
