Sure, the support for 900 MHz or other strange frequencies won't work unless your hardware is capable of them (ubiquity cards), but my understanding is these cards are also sold with specific FCC certification and as such you are the operator. The idea with CRDA is to add support to what you are allowed to use in a generic database. If you are legally allowed to use 900 MHz in the USA then we need to specify the rules there. If it is a custom rule then you can just create your own db.txt, use your own public RSA key to sign the database and just use that. So the public database should have items which are general. If you have custom regulatory permissions you are free to create your own database file. Mind you the driver also can provide its own regulatory restrictions so this needs to be considered as well.
