... as I seem to be slowly coming to the conclusion that hand-crafted epubs using a standard subset of html are the most practical answer, particularly for the thousands and thousands of great books that are already in the PG archive, I suppose I should be prepared to expose some examples for criticism.
Same conclusion that most of us I think have already come to: Write to a KISS subset of HTML that will "correctly" render to the widest possible number of HTML, EPUB, and MOBI readers. In practice the debate ends up being how extremely KISS to keep it, and what to do when (as is almost always the case) one finds elements in the book which one is encoding which don't fit nicely into one's existing KISS-HTML paradigm ideas.
