The wording 'custom' causes some confusion. It could be taken to mean a 'custom' CRS not defined in existing authorities. Whereas here, actually these are very common CRS's. In the geo domain, these are not 'custom'.

I think it's more clear to use the word 'non-default' here, as that's what was meant, especially as we just mention 'default' just above.

Seems like a reasonable clarification to me. Should we also be clear that the list of types is not exhaustive?
