The FITS application developer community (Bill Joye and his ds9 viewer
to name one) will strongly welcome this sort of thing as a way of
identifying what sorts of things can be done when an application is
handed a file with MIME type application/fits.  This was, in fact,
the subject which set the FITS MIME process into motion, and it was
determined to be a problem that the FITS MIME effort could not solve.
