Just got back from US  but have been talking witrh Sam Adams about our tools
and we are fairly optimistic that we can technically scrape a lot. We may
need per-publisher crowdsourcing of templates, etc.

to rescrape the biblio but that's tractable.  I am becoming very excited
about the ideas of community-scraping and I think it will scale. We won't
get everything initially but we will get the stuff that is cared about. I
hope to post more ideas later.
