I agree with eBooks being to complicated. There is no reason to include all the HTML and CSS in an eBook. I liked the way Palm made a scaled down markup language for Palmdocs years ago. They basically included paragraph, heading, lists, and block quote tags, and very little else. The people that create the ePub standards should do likewise--just include the bare essentials as far as HTML tags go. They should force people to use a very strict tag allocation where headings have to be in a H# tag, paragraphs have to be in P tags, lists in UL or OL tags, and do away with DIV, SPAN, and 98% of all the other HTML tags.
Thanks I am slowly feeling a tad better today.

Check out this CSS sheet I just pulled from an Amazon book!
