Considering the current lack of epub creation tools, other than InDesign or a text editor, I would like to get some input from everyone here.

In a tool designed specifically for epub creation, what features would you think most important? I'm not thinking about some WYSIWYG tool, like InDesign, but something for a more automatic and streamlined method of creating epubs, either singly or in bulk. Possibly building on existing Open Source tools.

Some basic markup capabilities could also be included. How do you think this could best be accomplished? What input formats do you think would be the most important to have, to accomodate a wide variety of already existing document formats (not just fiction)?
