Jess,
I'm not sure Iunderstand the question.
If the submitter's assistant put in the question marks
and they were different characters in the printed
book, change them to what's in the printed book. It
may be that the submitter couldn't read or udnerstand
the characters and that's why the assistant put in the
question marks--asking the validator to determine what
they should be. Some submitters put asterisks in place
of something they can't figure out or they think a
word might be missing.
