[EAS] NWS through IPAWS for better alerting experience

[Ed Czarnecki]

>>2. NOAA needs to get its IPAWS CAP EAS interface working!

It's more than just the interface between NWS and IPAWS.  There is still quite a bit of work to be done to help ensure that the contents of this kind of messaging is in a format and style that is truly usable by broadcast and cable media.  The teletype Style text content will just not work very well with a range of character generators and (when used as a backup) text-to-speech engines.

On the plus side, the good folks at NWS are hearing what we have to say and being very proactive about seeking feedback.  There is a lively discussion going on in the background, with the possibility of some very interesting options.
