As a quick check of the value or lack thereof of pandoc I installed it, downloaded a recent hmtl (and images) posting on PG "at random" and attempted to convert it to epub format using pandoc as follows:
pandoc -f html -t epub -o test.epub 38423-h.htm
Did you try the reverse process? That is, converting from HTML to one of the subtle markup languages, like ReStructured Text or Markdown? If so, does the output appear to be something that would pass the whitewashers' scrutiny? It seems to me that the greatest value in pandoc may be in using it to downgrade HTML to a structured text format rather than in using it to create an encapsulated HTML format like .epub or .mobi.
