@Stevelitt: I can attest that although he's been out of the game for some time now, Cap knows his epub-fu. He can be quite useful to you if you're developing something. He ran away to join the circus, or something akin to that, but I think he's goofing off a lot these days. He probably needs a good project to keep him out of trouble. ;-)

Thanks Hitch and Cap!
There's a lot to report. I'm almost done. All that remains is the parser object, and I have the pseudocode design for the parser object complete, so it's just a matter of translating the design to Python.
I spent the last several days learning Python's lxml.etree XML/Xhtml API, so now I'm barely competent with it. Still, it's much, much, MUCH better and easier than the brute force home brew text parsing I was going to do on the Xhtml. I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, by the guysin on #python IRC channel, into the world of XML parsers. XML parsers have improved A LOT in the past several years.
I'll speak to some of the details in a reply to Cap.
Guys, thanks for all your help and support.
