Yes, in fact that was the original requirement, AA:. I'm not sure where the
other form of the [AA] came from. That client is in error. Though, if some
software is doing it as [AA], then any parser should also accept it as such
an indicator as well for backwards compatibility.

There are lots of APRS things that did not make it into the spec (which was
finally published 7 years after APRS began). As we discover these
omissions, we try to document them in the APRS11 addendum:

Anything NEW that we add to APRS, however, is documented as a proposed
addition in APRS12 addendum http://aprs.org/aprs12.html
