Would it make sense to hold off on submissions until this gets resolved?  As it 
stands, page numbers will be stripped, and then the books will have to be 
repaired.  Sounds like a lot of extra work for the Bookshare staff.

  NO.  PLESE LETS NOT BE INVENTIVE. 
  If you put two page numbers on the same page eventually both of them will be 
back on the book,  regardless what you do. 
  All Bookshare books will eventually be reworked to conform to standards.  At 
that time a brand new treatment will be made for all page headers.  Stripped 
headers are not gone forever.  They are still in the archival copy.  Just be 
patient.

  How about doing it both ways?  I could put a page number on the same line 
with the text, AND put one with a blank line at either side, in the hope that 
at least one would survive.

  NO,  its the other way around.  If you insist keeping the page number,  there 
should be no blank line between the page number and the main text of the book. 
  But considering Bookshare will reimplement its header/page-number stripping 
strategy,  I do invite you to continue placing page numbers on isolated lines 
followed by a blank line if at the top,  or preceeded by a blank line if at the 
bottom.  When the new methodology is in place end users will likely be able to 
decide by themselves whether to keep strip page numbers.

  I've read several times on this list that page numbers will be protected from 
stripping if buffered by a linefeed on each side.  Is this true?

  Good point Kelly.  We need a 'partial stripper'.  Actually in most states 
total stripping is illegal,  so G-character-string rules should be enforceable 
as well on K1K. 

  Jokes aside,  I will make that suggestion to the K1K development team. To 
optionally leave page numbers intact, that is.

  E,
  You can strip headers with k9, but the numbers will be stripped too.
  Unfortunately there is no way yet to strip headers without stripping
  numbers.
