For those of you free to follow your own whims, and who object to it in principal: fine--don't use it. It's not like it's foisted on you. My question is strictly about reliability and conformance with what's currently being used by the major retailers.

There is one solution to the problem...

Run FC and get the ePub to pass. Once that's done, run the ePub through EC and then fix anything EC finds and once that's sorted, as long as the ePub looks as you want, done.
