My initial reaction was to take the "fly below 400'" statement literally but the above link is the FAA's guidance to LEO and it basically says if it's a model airplane, it's registered and it's following the safety guidelines of their community based organization (AMA Safety Code), then they are fine as far as the FAA is concerned.
This is guidance not a FAR. The FAA probably left anything about altitude limit off because they don't think a cop on the ground can accurately judge the altitude of any aircraft.
