> According to our [glossary](https://ocr-d.github.io/glossary), `region` should be `block`. Agreed! > How about two parameters `input-level` (IL) and `output-level` (OL)? I'm not yet convinced we need both. From the looks...

Another problem with `input-level` is that there are often implicit dependencies between input and output level, so an additional check would have to plausibilize the choices for every processor, raising...

I cannot follow your last comment. Above, I have argued that IL introduces unnecessary ambiguity and necessitates additional checks (as a conceptual and implementatory burden). You answer (in favour of...

That's because there are no good table processors in OCR-D yet. But you'd also have to include the existing ones in your workflow in the first place! Here's my take...
