Please note the section that I have bolded. And yes, testing with a ePub3/CSS 3 compliant application, setting widows and orphans to 0 gave the same effect as no widows and orphans declarations, i.e. the default of 2 was applied.

But, that's not for ePub 2. That's for ePub 3 and what I'm editing is an ePub 2 eBook, not an ePub 3 eBook.

Marvin and iBooks do work with Widows and orphans with a value of 0.
