Jamie,
The Stripper is poorly named, because the tool's primary job is to locate
and process page numbers to permit easier navigation in the DAISY books.
Engineering decided that they would have the tool strip any additional text
that it finds in headers or footers, and the tool became known as the
Stripper. Without the Stripper, though, it would not be possible to jump
directly to a given page in a DAISY book, like you can in Word with Ctrl-G.
Jim mentioned at some point that the original design of the tool attempted
to provide the same capability for chapters as well, so stripping of chapter
headings is possibly due to a bug in that part of the functionality.
Although, it's just as likely it's due to a bug in identifying and removing
the text from headers.

This stripper thing is really weird and hard to figure out! Is there a
reason the stripper is used at all?
