Please don't forget to save a copy of your file with the headers in tact
before you try subjecting it to the Kurzweil stripping process.
I don't really want to delete headers either, but people were so violently
opposed to them that i started to delete headers from my own submitions,
because i felt i could do a cleaner job of it than the stripper. I did
leave the page numbers, though. The headers have no point in fiction with
only book title and author repeated, but in a book you might not read all
the way through, they are valuable. I suspect the people violently opposed
to them have never read a print or electronic non-fiction book in their
lives, and therefore don't know why the rest of us want the headers so
badly. :-)
I'd like to force all of them to read select and scattered parts of a book
with page numbers that are actually chapter and section numbers instead.
For example a book that has pages labeled like 2.3.1. Then they could tell
me what their opinion of retaining headers is. <evil grin>
Oh, and after that they can pretend they are in a literature class and must
read certain pages assigned from the book on certain days. The stories are
not extremely short, but there are several in the book. The page numbering
starts again for every story. These are actual examples, not just weird
ideas I have invented. I can't give titles of books like these, but I know
they exist.

if you have taken great pains to protect headers and feel you can get them
past the stripper, I'd include a note in the comments field requesting the
validator leave them in tact.
A good test to see whether or not those headers can withstand a stripping
assault might be to subject them to the utility for that purpose in K1000.
