Ahh, but that kind of begs the question doesn't it? We don't want to 
keep people from downloading crap versions, we just want to be sure they 
/know/ they're getting crap versions. And how are we going to know that 
any particular version /is/ a crap version?

What we do know, is that we can't trust the opinion of Marcello 
Perathoner, James Adcock, David Widger, Bruce Morasch, Greg Newby or 
even Lee Passey. We /can/ probably trust the quality of HTML books 
produced of late by Distributed Proofreaders, but it would appear that 
no one is interested in downloading the recent work product of DP.

So, you have failed to address Mr. Newby's core question, which is "how 
do we determine the quality of any arbitrary PG edition?" I'm sure that 
any concrete proposal you would care to make would be genuinely appreciated.
