[aprssig] IRLP Node Object

I recently reconfigured my EGLNST digi to conform to WB4APR's latest
recommendation for Kantronics 8.3 or later firmware at
http://www.aprs.org/kpc3/kpc3+WIDEn.txt.

Things seem to work fine, except for the IRLP node object that I programmed,
which apparently aprs.fi has problem parsing. WB4APR's document suggests the
following format:

;IRLP-4040*111111zDDMM.hhNIDDDMM.hhW0FFF.FFFMHz Tnnn CALLSIGN

... and what I entered is:

;IRLP-4397*111111z3522. NI08313. W0444.875MHz T131 K4RCC

I used spaces instead of hundredths of degrees for position ambiguity.

My problem is that aprs.fi appears not to like the format. Viewing the raw
packets reveals:

2012-03-25 22:05:09 UTC: EGLNST>APN383,qAR,N4NE-1:;IRLP-4397*111111z3522. 
NI08313. W0444.875MHz T131 K4RCC [Delayed or out-of-order packet (timestamp)]

Is my formatting of the object message faulty, or does aprs.fi not parse it
correctly?

Thanks in advance.
