I have seen many messy text-image mixes on Google books, especially older
texts from manual typesetting days. That's why I was wondering if it would
be possible to have a tool that stores pages as you go, so you can step in
and adjust it on a per page basis. I am not familiar with abbyy.xml files,
but this may be the way to go

Actually, I would rather have a tool that pulls
apart djvu files as they
are uploaded; keeping the text in WS and the pics in Commons
This is very interesting since abbyy.xml files contain both a full detail
(character by character) detail of text mapping & format, and coordinates
of any not-textual content (illustrations) of the scanned page. Using
appropriately such data, it would be possible to extract automatically
illustrations and other graphical elements of pages. nevertheless, I saw
that such "self-cropping" of illustration sometimes fails, and often is
confused by some unusual format of illustrations/graphical element, so that
many "illustrations" are nonsense or have to be cropped again. Unluckily,
djvu files have no such "illustration coordinates" inside.
