I think we are talking about two different issues. I was referring to the IGC file XCSoar generates from the Cambridge/Volkslogger stream which (I believe) can ignore the obviously erroneous year (after all we talking realtime here) and use the system year instead. Validation of IGC files is a different challenge.
