It has come to my attention that we have a need to handle a new case, one where 
there is one FITS file, with many extensions, that together form a mosaic image, 
and is to be loaded as such.

My first pass at this problem would be a new mime-type (since it is not an 
encoding issue) of something like:

image/fits-mosaic

this would fit in well with the existing proposed mime-types... comments?
