Thanks!
And having very briefly started looking at XSLT, it seems that there are now tools for Mac OS X that will allow me to integrate XLST with an Applescript, which combined with Kindlegen should allow me to set up a work flow where I have a single XHTML/CSS source in an ePub-like structure, I drag&drop the folder onto my AppleScript, and customised Kindle and ePub format ebooks get created with no further user interaction. I could even produce ePubs customised for the different rendering abilities of ADE and iBooks.

It'll be quite a lot of work, but I think it might be worth it. Wow.
