This should be marked future. Eventually V4 and V5 headers might be used by image programs in bitmaps. Basically they store bitmap and png files inside the bitmap structure. Therefore, when this happens we can throw in support for it by slightly decoding the data and sending it to the jpeg and png decoder. There is no need to implement it now as no images are stored as of yet in this format. If someone wants to implement it then feel free :-) I will grab this bug myself so it doesn't add to anyone's bug list.

Marked for later. Low priority

Oops. Sorry the field changed on me.

Trying again.

I need accept permissions for this module to accept this bug.

I accept it for you. Ask gerv@mozilla.org or asa@mozilla.org for permissions.

Brian - I'm assuming you're not doing this anymore. We're not looking to increase our supported feature-set for bmp in any way (we'd probably remove BMP if we didn't need it for favicons). Marking WONTFIX.
