I mean yes, pedantically, what they deliver is not a checksum-identical copy of the book, and I wish it were, because it would make certain things easier. But that doesn't really compare with chopping out chunks of your stylesheet arbitrarily....

Yeah. It's new and different. It boggles me, and I'm trying to drill-down, to see if I can find out what's what.
