NAK

I added that error in the first place since the spec for the v2
strings  hadn't been finalised and I didn't want it going off into the
weeds if something changed. In hindsight this was a mistake since the
V2 format only extends the V1 format so parsing it as V1 is always
going to work.  This has (almost) always been the case with HDAT so
there's no need to make this a hard error.

I'd just drop this patch until we have support for parsing the
description strings (and they're actually populated).
