The stripper needs to be refined and not completely removed. As I've already said in one of my e-mails, it's not only the stripper that's at fault. The DAISY conversion tool along with the Braille Conversion tool is probably also at fault. Let's not haste into something that we ay regret. Yes, there are imperfections; yes, there are difficulties with the tools that Bookshare uses. But, frankly, we can use more tools and not less. Marissa's suggestions are absolutely essential. We all find that we have different experiences with various tools and we'll need to bring our difficulties to someone who will carefully evaluate the problem/s and come up with a statement of these problems before deciding what needs to be done with it.

I leave in page numbers and breaks but take out the author's name and the title at the top of pages carefully letter by letter as I go. The messiness at the top makes bookshare books come across as messy output. I think we can learn to do this well so the stripper is not necessary. Obsessing about it means validating books takes much too long as witness the discussion on the list. If we can get the ocr package people to get the remove headers to work that would be good. What is the judgement about the one in version 9? E.
