Wow, I've got to say that I'm liking the McGuffy readers more and more. This one test case is short (160 pp) yet has extremely complex unicode characters, lists, tables, illustrations, navigation, poems, handwriting, correspondence and even a dialog between actors like in a play (HTML 4 recommends using <dl><dt><dd> for dialogs). I'll bet that when I complete the project I will have encountered just about everything found in any e-book. If BB could take this book and mark it up in s.m.l. in such a way that it would convert to satisfactory .epub and .mobi I'd feel much more inclined to accept his vanity markup language as a real contender. ReST advocates should take the same challenge.
