I haven't been able to find references to
<filter> element and how to use it,
in the reference docs.   Is this an
currently implemented feature?



http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/on388/table2.html#TABLE131
This seems to be a WMO table.
Blackadar's is the only one with the ' char in it.
Editing the table would certain fix the problem,
but this would be more contriversial.
