[aprssig] CWOP packet formatting requirements

[John Gorkos]

Probably a question for Steve only, but I'll pose it to the larger group.

I'm reworking a bunch of JavAPRSLib decoder code, and I'm particularly 
looking at weather parser code.  I'm looking specifically at CWOP data 
right now, and I'm seeing stations with malformed packets coming 
through.  Here's an example:

DW3637>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,CWOP-7:@122247z42.1N/72.6W_257/000g004t073r011p011h91b10135.wview_5_20_2

According to the APRS spec, this is a malformed packet because lat/long 
should be 2.2X/3.2Y (i.e. this one should be 42.10N/072.60W.

My question is, do stations submitting data to CWOP required to adhere 
to the APRS protocol spec for packet formatting, or do we not care 
because it never goes "over the air"?  Would I be out of line submitting 
a bug request to the wview folks asking that the format their packets 
"properly" according the Spec?

Thanks!
