I agree with Preben's comments on the binary table draft.  In 
particular,

1.  The sum of the TFORMS must be equal to NAXIS1.

2.  The default value for EXTVER should be 1

3)   Author is the person or group creating the data, not the
     name of the program that wrote the FITS file.

4)  characters other than T,F and NUL are illegal, but if
    this happens, the FITS reader should  treat it the same
    as a NUL
