Mike--
Frankly, these page break problems are fairly isolated. (I'm not a
statistician, but let's just say that submissions without page breaks are maybe
3%-8% of what we get here at Bookshare.) I would say most volunteers contribute
excellent submissions on a regular basis, and we're incredibly appreciative of
the time and effort they put into making Bookshare.org work. And if most
volunteers are already submitting perfectly good submissions, there shouldn't
be a problem with trying to up the quality of the site.
I don't have a number for BRF stuff off hand. But I can try to track that down.

This is a no-win situation for BookShare. On the positive side, what
Marissa is talking about is addressing something important and an issue
BookShare critics constantly bring up.
On the other hand, as BookShare requires submissions and validations
largely from volunteers, if this requirement
is viewed as burdensome by too many of them, everyone loses.
It is a tricky situation -- good in one sense but one that may rub some
contributors the wrong way.
I guess what I'd be curious to know is what percentage of BookShare
contributions have this page break problem?
Secondly, as .brf downloads don't have correct pagination anyway, what
percentage of downloads are .brf?
