Its worth pointing out that the page numbers are still present in the daisy 
format, at least; those numbers that some folks so carefully preserve are used 
in that format, so all you need do is read with something that 
recognizes the tags. Is that any less reasonable a request than asking people 
to go strip headers by hand? That is an extremely tedious process; the longer 
the book, the more tedious. And since many don't own 
something like K1000 that will do a decent job in many instances,  those who 
don't would then be left to strip each page or live with what the validator 
submits, headers, numbers and all. You're right. There are 
different views, and one size will never fit all. But I do think the daisy 
books with the numbers on demand are a good compromise.
