Not sure about 802.11x but in the cell phone world (GSM, CDMA, UMTS, etc.) the RSSI is usually expressed as negative number (0 being the optimal signal with no loss at all). My base station is sitting about six feet from my laptop and I get a RSSI of -48. All the neighbors are coming in at about -90 so that seems about right.
