Yeah, I glance through the file first, looking for problems. If there are any issues I just go and clean it up beforehand. You can usually make a good guestimate of the classes from just reading the CSS and looking for font styling.

Yeah, I've just finished making 84 edits on an obviously pdf converted retail book - sent the changes back to the publisher :/.
Scifi conversions nearly always have their letters/signs etc messed up during conversion, especially when print books use a teletype style for them. So I spend a lot of time putting in <tt>'s. Yay.
