I've been following this discussion for a while, and the comments on
OpenBook got me thinking. I use Open Book, but I'm usually more likely to
validate than scan. I'd be willing to commit to validating only the .ark
format books for a while, if that would help, but I'm a slow validator, as I
work full-time, and many nights don't have much time for the task.
Let me go see what's up there in Ark format, and grab one or two to start
the ball rolling.
