Posting compliant files would certainly help. I'm still wondering what the proper behavior of epub readers should be, when required elements are either missing or malformed? Shouldn't DE and other readers inform the user somehow that there is a problem? DE does show a warning message about some issues, as I have already seen. It just doesn't tell you what those issues are.
