I don't understand fully your statement "Right now, I'm going to convert them to DjVu and upload them, without any text information.". Don't you feel any need of an excellent OCR layer when proofreading it into wikisource?
I reuploaded the first issue of Weird Tales in DjVu because the PDF was significantly fuzzier than the DjVu, and looking at the PDF OCR, it's slightly better than what I can get from the interface. Given the choice between better images and better OCR, I go with the first one.
Do you feel fully satisfied by mediawiki OCR of images?
I can't even get the MediaWiki OCR to work. I use the Google OCR gadget.
I don't know how to get xml data about mapping of words into page image.
It's a pretty distant concern for me, somewhat tangential to producing transcriptions of the works.
