To the original poster:
I think you are missing a larger truth here. Your requests remind me a little of a man who would criticize the sartorial choices of U.S. prison inmates. It's not that he's wrong that the inmates are horribly dressed, it's that he's reacting to an almost irrelevant side effect. The inmates didn't choose those ugly orange jumpsuits. The jailers did and they had their reasons.
Likewise, the inelegant HTML and CSS that annoys you isn't due to sloppiness, carelessness, or unprofessionalism. It's there because the jailers, er major ebook vendors, encourage it. No one ever intended for you to see the markup. It exists to achieve a particular outcome on specific devices.
If it gives you joy to needlessly fiddle with ebook markup, by all means, fiddle away. And you probably came to the best place to find help for this endeavor. Don't be offended if you get a few (virtual) funny looks. What you are asking is more than a little strange.
