I loved both your and Kaitlin's posts--chewable toyrs
and flowers.
But on a more serious note, perhaps lots of members
could go to Peter's members meeting at the NFC meeting
this summer and find out what's going on. Peter,will
there be an engineer representative there? Can the
members find out and pass on the info? Why is the
stripper necessary? Validators can easily strip the
headers as they read -- many can be stripped by a
global replace with nothing? IF the stripper is
sripping page numbers and chapter titles even when the
headers have been stripped it's doing a disservice
rather than performing a service.
