[fitswcs] WCS documents

[William Pence]

Eric and Mark,

As a reminder of what was mentioned at the FITS BoF at the ADASS meeting, a
proposal for how to specify the physical units of a keyword value has been
submitted to the chair of the North American FITS committee for
consideration.  The full proposal can be viewed at:

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/fits/keywordunits.html. 

It was suggested that Appendix B in your first WCS paper might be revised to
also mention this keyword units convention.   

In fact, once your WCS papers are approved and become part of the FITS
Standard, it might make sense to move most or all of your appendix B into
what is now section 5.3 (the Units section) of the FITS Standard.

regards,
Bill
