#-- WARNING: IN JUNE 2010 WMO CHANGED THE MEANING OF THE NEXT SEQUENCE DESCRIPTOR 3'02'044
#--          IN WMO TABLE D VERSION 14, BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A TYPO!
#--          WE BELIEVE THE SAME CHANGE HAS TO BE MADE HERE IN TABLE VERSION 13.
#--
#-- CONSEQUENCE: SYNOP MESSAGES AND OTHER MESSAGES USING 3'02'044, ENCODED WITH THE OLD SEQUENCE,
#--              CANNOT BE PROPERLY DECODED WITH THE CORRECTED SEQUENCE!!!  THIS IS SERIOUS!
