All right, all right, I was betting it would be you Prat, although Guido
might have beaten you. Of course all the tool would need do is replace
OpenBook's weird quotation marks and apostrophys, something that I would
think could be done with relative ease. *grin*
Jake, who will most probably forget to start replacing them before
submission.

Hi Kellie,
*Great*(sarcasm) hopefully we can talk the BookShare staff into implementing
some type of automated tool in the future that will fix those few
weirdnesses from OpenBook scans. I'm sure that all of my books have them as
I don't do any post OpenBook processing before submission. I'm sure there
are lots of folks that don't even know of possible problems. either.

Hi Jake and Scott,
I wouldn't give up on Openbook being your culprit just yet. Openbook
definitely causes weirdness with quotation marks, so whenever I work on a
book scanned with Openbook, I fix the weird close quotes that it uses for
both opening and closing quotes and replace them with regular quotation
marks. It also does something weird to apostrophes. So some of these books
you're looking at in brf might have been fixed by the validator.
