Hardly the case here...

Way ahead of ya; I've pretty much got that done, but I'm running some test cases to fine-tune things. Mods so far:

- remove_drm_meta_tags now removes the trailing newline as well, so the Adobe line completely goes away instead of leaving a blank line.
- "Smartify punctuation" routine restored.
- New code renamed "strip_spans" and available through the --strip_spans command line option.
- strip_spans expanded to remove "rights.xml" and "kobo.js" - both remnants of the Kobo DRM scheme - from the book and manifest.
- strip_spans expanded to remove the koboSpan CSS rule and references to kobo.js from the (X)HTML files.
- Basic documentation for the new code added to the HTML file.
- Version number bumped to 1.3.10 to avoid any confusion, although 1.3.9b would be more accurate.

In short, strip_spans is now more like a "deKoboify" routine that also happens to remove SPAN elements that have no attributes. I'm almost tempted to split it properly, into strip_spans and dekobo, but I don't really see the point. (Any opinions either way?)

If anyone wants to try to poke holes in the code, the current version is attached. I think I've got it properly bulletproofed, but testing is more than welcome.

EDIT: Code revised after further testing.
