Folks we can summarize as follows:

1. students and others sometimes need page numbers and need a way of specifying that.

2.  others do not need page numbers and need a way of specifying that.

3. folks need the text and that includes chapter numbers and the titles of such chapters. After all they are part of the text.
4. nobody needs garble at the tops of pages. Next I will assume that nobody really wants title of book at the top of pages.


5. These goals can be achieved at the local (submitter/validator) or official (bookshare automated tool) level. There must be some reason the powers that be like the official automated tool. Perhaps some compromise could be worked out to get a final result we all like. By "all" I mean the volunteers both on this list and not on it, the general readership and official bookshare folks who may be forced to abide by rules of which we here have no knowledge. (If this is tru however and they share the rules with us we may be more useful here.)

I have a couple of ongoing concerns here. I want to know how well localized tools such as those in the latest version of k1000 really work. I do know that version 9 has a stripper which takes out page headings all right but removes the numbers along with them even if requested to act with prudence. Has this improved?
