Some of the differences of opinion stem from how much work you want to put in on it and whether you like editing in HTML. Being able to and liking are far from the same.
Some want to create a book that will stand as a testimonial for all time as to how an e book should look. Others, like me, who often work from OCRed sources, are just glad to produce something reasonably attractive and useable after fighting with 1,000,000 OCR errors, then finding a better copy to extract all the pictures from then reinserting them.
So long as it works and does not cause ereaders to scream is fine by me. But I have no intention of posting to Apple or other ebook sellers who are finicky (some beyond reason) as to what they will accept.
