I vote for scrapped. I don't really see what good it
does. Maybe I just don't understand its function. My
understanding is that it will strip headers if it
sees repetitions but will leave things alone when the
first word or character on each page is different.
Which means that if the page number is up there on the
first line with the header, the header will be left
alone. Often, the headers are scrambled and so they
are not repetitive, and then they, too, theoretically
are left alone. So either the book goes to the
collection with the headers intact, scrambled or o.k.,
or we eliminate them manually or by doing a global
replace with nothing.
Am I missing something? Is there something beneficial
to the book that the stripper does?
