For example, page navigation is one of the least important navigational structures in DAISY, but it seems to be the most important one in the BookShare files. I am also not sure that Raman's claims for DAISY support in Emacspeak are particularly defendable. Notice that he created his code before there was any content to test with. So, Raman's DAISY support is Raman's idea of what DAISY is based on whatever he based it on. That part I don't know.
