EDIT: I am going to try to say this in a nice way, but I am struggling. Kobo may be an open device, but that does not, to me, mean that anything ending in .epub is guaranteed to work on it.
Considering most sites where CSS code is discussed still have disclaimers such as "this works with IE 8 or higher, Firefox 4+, Safari 5+" on almost every bit of sample code, there are no guarantees that any css is going to work on any given renderer. You learn what works for most devices and what is an invitation to a world of complaints.
