Hello E.,
Once again, no arguments from me here. Personally, I usually won't validate
a book unless it is listed as having an "excellent" rating. I do also feel
that there should be absolutely no missing pages in the submitted book. If
modifications need to be made, leave those up to the validator.

What is difficult about scanning a preface, introduction or foreword.
I understand an index having errors. Books in a bibliography can be
easily scanned and validated. We volunteers have been scanning and
validating this supposed non-core content for years.
Let's assume volunteers want to do a good job.
If we lose those few who do not produce quality scans then the
validators will have better books to validate. This is the reason
bookshare no longer accepts "poor" scans.
Validating needs to be done carefully or not done at all. We are
doing a lot of bso books because validating standards and submit
standards were once lower. Let's move on from producing a lot of
books to producing well scanned well validated additions to the collection.
We are likely to lose volunteers if we let them input poor work. Who
wants to validate a bunch of "poor" scans for example?
