It would be endlessly useful if headers had an event notification subscription system. Any change on a header such as an addition of a keyword, a removal of a keyword, a change in value, a change in comment, etc. should publish an event to any and all subscribed listeners. Listeners should probably be stored on the Header instance as weakrefs to avoid reference cycles and various sorts of zombism.
Such a system would have a great many uses and would be very helpful for maintaining internal consistency of FITS files.
