I agree completely.
I do all my submitting with speech and spend three or four hours checking and editing, but I amm sure that there are errors a braille or sighted validator would find. However, of the hundreds of books I have downloaded and read with speech I can count on my fingers( with maybe a toe or two) the number of books of really bad quality.. 
 At least for me perfection is not  possible and never will be.

I vote to leave things as they are. I, like everyone else want excelent quality books, but I think to expect perfection is asking too much.

I think perfectionism is really hard to achieve... I do the best I can and am always learning, but I get a knot in my stomach when I feel pressured to get perfect scans. I want excellent quality books, but I do feel pressure to do better and better. I might think about submitting books from now on, especially if there is more and more pressure to submit "perfect" scans. I love bookshare and I love all the work we do, but I can't create perfect scans, and feel badly when I can not do that for you all.
