[CAP] Geocodes

[Herbert White]

Farrel,

That has been fixed in the CAP 1.1 feed at 
http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/.  We plan to replace the v1.0 feed 
(http://www.weather.gov/alerts/) by early next year.  We encourage use 
of http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/.  We welcome comments and other 
feedback at http://www.weather.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=atom.
