in jacket.xhtml: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I've done some more testing with Dutch hyphenations but Kobo is really making a mess out of it for kepub ebooks. So, for now, I'm using unhyphenated regular ePub books unless somebody has a tip to make (and show) kepub books also unhyphenated.
The Language on the edit metadata screen sets the value of the dc metadata element language <dc:language>nl</dc:language>, But this does not flow through to the xml:lang setting at the top of each xhtml file. I have no idea whether or not it should - I suspect not.
