Table 2:
Comparison of the FITS coordinate keywords in the old and new system, for
helioprojective-cartesian coordinates in the TAN projection. The phrase
"exactly the same'' assumes that the same units are used in both cases. See
Sect. 9.2 for a discussion of angular units. Although
CUNITi did not appear in the original Wells et al. (1981) paper, it has been
commonly used.
