Yes, so the display of the kludges in the test message response, is a "key"/"value" display, where the key is the kludge and the value is the kludges value.

The delimiter is the space, because the kludge inludes the colon, eg: MSGID:, TID:, PID:. When there is no space, clrghouz will fall back to delimit on the colon, hence why it was rendered as "AREA FSX_NET", because it was packed as AREA:FSX_NET, not AREA: FSXNET (with a space).

(AREA tags are not a \x01 kludge, so normally it is not included in the output, but in that packet it was included a second time as a kludge.)

Yup, the first AREA tag was taken as the message area, the second was just kept verbatim (and parsed for the test output).
