I had a telecon late last week where we were told that several NWS 
servers were recently compromised and had to recertify before coming 
back online.  I'll contact the appropriate folks and see if I can mirror 
the data for them.

Also, there's a real big effort in NWS to fix problems with their 
geospatial accuracy and precision.  Curt, you'd love some of the 
discussions on position ambiguity.  I've pulled out some of our old 
e-mails on the topic and paraphrased them to help kickstart the solutions...
