Well, I don't read Daisy files, so I'm probably not the most informed. But,
from what I understand, the Daisy reader is supposed to determine what page
you are on, as long as the tags are put in when the stripper strips the page
numbers.

I've always wondered why it wouldn't make sense to provide a stripper along
with the bookshare unpack tool. That way, those who want the page numbers
stripped can do so, and those of us who don't use daisy but read the brf
format can still have the page numbers in the book.
