Right. The current published document requires that the primary image have
at least 1 pixel. I wanted to be able to return empty primary images as
images.
While I wouldn't want to ban extensions from image/fits files, my feeling is
that use of that mime type is a strong signal that the primary HDU is
what the program should be interested in.
