Jim,
On the lighter side, you sure did get off your duff (your words)!  <lol>  I
am joking;  I know your job is very hard and we are not an easy group with
which to work..  Thank you for being more visible to us.

Best regards,

Sue Stevens
Happy user and validator

Cindy: thanks for the comments.  I don't want to leap to what validators may
or may not do in a rework of our process yet: I want to make sure I know
where we're going.

Hope, etc.: OK, an additional requirement on our big objectives might be to
have chapter markup at the same level as headers/footers: we should capture
that info and make it possible to see/not see.

Once we have our objectives really, really clear, then we can come up with
back up strategies.  For example, if you can't capture chapter information
in a tag and then output it selectively, maybe you should try to keep
chapter titles rather than whacking them.

I know that everyone here knows that every choice means that something that
is broken today might work, and something that works today might break: the
hope is that a fix makes things 90% better at the cost of 10% worse...

Fund raising: I've copied our fund raising team on some of your comments,
and I hope we'll be able to follow up on this.  I have to assume that in
every region in the U.S. there are local foundations/funders who would love
this kind of project both for its local impact (since many foundations are
restricted to a region) and its national and hopefully global impact.  You
probably know those folks better than we do!
