The reason why the stripper leaves half lines and appears to be
inconsistent is because the headers themselves aren't consistent. If
headers don't match from page to page, the stripper will have trouble
picking up a pattern. Page numbers are the only part of the header that is
allowed to be different.
When page numbers are inserted into the DAISY navgation structure, they do
not appear visibly in the text. So those of you who may have been looking
for the page numbers in the text, you were probably disappointed. The
reading tool should provide the choice of whether ou wish to hear page
numbers as you are reading along and it being visible as well. That is
something that the user agent should address and not part of the structure.

Excellent idea! This problem has been addressed
before. Hopefully the engineers are working on it. I
think most everyone said they'd like the automatic
stripper te be eliminated.
