z-index handling -- currently text is never masked by graphics
Algorithmic extraction of TOC << -- I'll do this one

Right-to-left text, proper display (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew)
Algorithmic detection of text flow (Stephen may be working on this)
Detection / removal of duplicate images
Jpg vs. png selection; automatically choose the best format for each image
