[fitsbits] Start of the CONTINUE keyword Public Comment Period
While I think this is a useful convention, I note that this introduces
an implicit ordering of FITS headers, i.e. they have to be read in a certain order if you want to interpret them correctly. As far as I know, this is the first time such an implicit ordering has been introduced and it could conceivable cause some problems in copying/concatenating headers together. There are of course a few explicit ordering conventions i.e. you have to start with SIMPLE = T. I doubt this CONTINUE statement will cause much trouble in practise, but before approving it we might want to consider the more general problems of implicit ordering. Walter |
