Hmm, well, while exploiting IrDA for CIR is common, exploiting it "successfully" may be a little less common.

From the LIRC project's page on using IrDA, they say

Everybody agrees that real support for consumer IR applications can only be developed using chipsets that support CIR (consumer IR).

So I guess some IrDA hardware can be used for CIR, and some can't. Also,

From my experience transmitting of IR signals is more likely to work than receiving...

In any case, it might be best for now to just say that the Neo900 will have IrDA and CIR tx, and not worry about CIR rx until we know whether the IrDA hardware can actually handle it.
