The more I think about it the more I feel "Unknown" is better. If for some
reason the channel page and channel combination is not listed and "Unknown" is
printed the last thing the user will care about is alignment in the output.

Channel page and channel number information will not change that often so we
should be able to keep up with future changes (additions). I have tried to get
hold of the 802.15.4-2015 draft from March/April but without success. The local
university will charge me ~350€ or something in that region for it. I wanted it
to see if any new channel pages/channels have been added since -2011 edition.

Anyway, v2 coming in a few minutes.
