Very quickly:

I think, to speak to solely one thing, you missed the funny in my telling of the lady's reply about the broken paragraphs; when she said "I've just looked and took the first few pages, the Prologue, and justified the margins. This corrects most of the broken paragraphs in one move. I'll do it chapter by chapter as I go," she wasn't actually setting margins, as the goal; she thought she was FIXING broken paragraphs, because the ragged line endings she could "see" with her naked eyes magically moved to the right margin (when she chose "justified"). I'd been trying to get her to fix the pilcrows (paragraph codes) appearing mid-sentence and mid-paragraph that is the inevitable output of AbbyyFineREader

THAT was the funny. Not the typographic aspects. That would have to be fixed (broken paras) whether in markup, markdown, Word, OO, Latex or Bob's Big ePUB-Baker. ;-)
