Hmmm. My idea was that the original validator would
still get the credit. The way things are now, the
original validator won't get any credit, even after
working to correct the book, because a second
validator will spend his/her time validating the whole
book and will get the credit--assuming that he/she
also corrects the author or copyright info. If not,
and it's a person who  assumes author and copyright
info are correct and doesn't change them, the book
will get kicked back yet again. That has happened. 

I guess E's suggestion of having a second list for
kickbacks that would be easier to check, presumably,
because it would be a shorter list, would be one
solution. Another would be tha validators would get a
notice to fix those things in the form, the same way
submitters now get a notice that their books has been
accepted or rejected.
