Yes. Not sure if it's feasible, but if it could be made to also merge files if the resources were not identical, but one of the files had none, that would be a useful enhancement.

Then you could use completely different images, fonts, css, etc and produce two different but each better ebooks.
Well, I'd like to have 3 versions - each separate plus a merged one. Also, I'd like to add to best8.mobi a small mobi7 part with a simple explanation that it doesn't support the old version, and the url to download a version that does - which should also let it work in Previewer, which would be nice.

(Merging the two versions I can use my hack, I'd just like a better workflow; for a small mobi7 part I think it'd be built too fast to use the hack manually, but a simple script might suffice - actually, would you be willing to share your bash script?)
