I agree in principal, but oh! part of the enjoyment for me in re-habbing public domain books is to give them some fancy chapter heads, formatted quotations, etc. I do feel, as do many, that the main body text should be left up to the reader, but is there any harm really in specifying a fancy font just for chapter titles? Otherwise, we all might as well just load up Project Gutenberg plain-text...
'Twould be nice if there were a way to offer *all* readers an option to use the publisher version or their own preference, that was actually *easy to use*.
