Whether the link back to DP would be useful or not I leave to others to decide. However, when we get to the point ... someday ... of providing the original page scans (for those that we can), I wouldn't be surprised to see the projectID used as the value to tie back to them. So, let's put the projectID in there for now. It definitely doesn't hurt anything.
While it won't hurt anything, a DP ID might not have any significance for linking to page scans. DP periodically archives finished projects and takes them off line. If we would need to bring scans back on line, it would make more sense to me to restore them to a directory named with the PG eBook number and not the hexadecimal alphabet soup ID that DP uses.
True ... but this way we know which text was which projectID. Otherwise, how do you know that the archive pngs in projectID747364873 should go into PG etext 10576? Josh (Yeah, I made up those numbers ... they ain't valid)
