But what happens if there is a corrupted file; how will one know what pages are
missing if the page numbers have been stripped.

Kenneth, this topic has been discussed already:
1. Page numbers and headers may be stripped by the reviewer only after
performing a thorough page integrity checked, that is after the reviewer has
determined that there are no missing nor duplicated pages, nor spurious blank
pages.
If headers and page numbers are removed before performing the page integrity
check, you are left without a verifiable audit trail.
2. If the book contains an alphabetic index, you may want to consider
stripping headers, but leaving page numbers intact. In this situation you may
actually want to correct page numbers that have been corrupted.
3. As the bookshare automated stripper my not leave page numbers in anyway,
you may want to attempt to defeat it by not leaving a blank line between the
page number and the bodytext, in any book where you believe page numbers are of
value to the reader.

The stripping of page numbers raises some interesting questions. First, we
are required to supply the indices of books, but they are not of much value
if we can't determine the location of a given page. Second, with page
numbers stripped, how do we know if there are omitted or lost pages?
