In what cases does   -strip  faile to remove all meta-data
when    format -> bmp -> format    does?

The only meta-data that should get though -strip are non-profile
meta-data.   things like  
   virtual canvas info  (use +repage)
and GIF timing delays and disposals
     (use  -set delay 0  -set dispose Undefined)
and perhaps some image comments.

If there is anything else I'd like to know about it.


Cristy,  perhaps we need a  +strip  or -strip-total
to remove/reset everything except image data, and image size.
