Will the Author's Guild do the flagging, or will the Publishers?

I think Amazon presented the option of flagging as a way of making the Author's Guild happy without having to pay them any more in royalties. However, whether or not this flag gets used will probably be up to the Publishers, who don't necessarily have the same objections to TTS as the authors do.
