To facilitate the ease of transmitting the XML products by US OPMET Gateway's current practice, an option was provided to the bulletin.write() method to insert the WMO AHL as the first line in the resulting output file. The bug is that the text for bulletinIdentifier is either 'txt' or 'txt.gz' as file extensions when this option is used. This is contrary to the Guidelines.

According to Section 4.1.4 of the Guidelines for the Implementation of OPMET Data Exchange using IWXXM 4th Edition, the only allowable file extension for XML products are 'xml' and 'xml.gz', as the bulletinIdentifier text.
