Several prescriptions are shown to be related by gauge transformations. Nevertheless, due to current non-conservation, they yield different results. These differences reflect the size of the uncertainty that persists in the interpretation of $(e,e'p)$ experiments.6 pp (10 in preprint form), ReVTeX, (+ 4 figures, uuencoded)Nuclear TheoryThe electron-nucleon cross section in $(e,e'p)$ reactionstext
