This was feedback from the Fits BOF at ADASS. Apparently a help desk email was submitted.

Thanks, we're looking into these updates to ftverify / fitsverify / fverify.

@bryanirby Would it be possible to echo back what was in the help desk email? It would help us avoid reporting duplicate issues if we run across the same inconsistencies.

Hi @gpdf: The issue - which I think was reported by you - is that the verifier is not checking time-coordinate and compression standards introduced in 4.0. We looked into this back in November and requested further guidance (i.e. specific keywords that the code should be checking for) at that time. Are you able to provide additional guidance here? Thanks in advance.
