Can he solve it in Calibre? Manually or automatically?

And the <u> tag will
pass xml validation.
Granted, it may fail x
html validation....
Yes, it can be solved in calibre. regex it out. Or convert it with calibre and create beautifully conformant xhtml.
Regardless, it is more important to sell a working book than to comform to the standards. Change must start with the distributors who enforce noncompliant ebooks.
