There is however no equivalent for > the NO-INDOOR annotation. Correct, it is defined but completely unused. I suspect this is because restrictions have been more common on outdoor use rather than indoor. > Should same frequency band, or parts of it, be specified multiple > times with the NO-INDOOR and NO-OUTDOOR annotations as proposed?

In principle we could have separate rules for indoor vs outdoor use, but the regulatory support in the kernel can't currently deal with that. So we would first need to add support in the kernel, but this would require care to ensure older kernels can continue to use the regulatory database.
