The APRS spec document "APRS101.PDF" is obsolete and contains
incorrect information. One of those bits of incorrect information
happens to be related to area objects, exactly the issue I griped
about yesterday in the Area-Objects page.
Turns out Xastir *IS* spec-compliant, but to the "1.1 addendum" of the
spec. The "1.1 addendum" is just a web page of rambling text
documents from Bob Bruninga's old web site. You have to read that
stuff, not just rely on the PDF spec.
Yeesh.
Fortunately, John Langner has a repo where he is working on collecting
all of those addenda into an updated spec document.
Link there.
