Hi tkeo,

If the user specifies F to force to epub2, my guess is they want the epub version 2 for their own use and probably won't most be passing it back through kindlegen which candeal with the epub 3 features just fine. My guess, they probably want to load it into calibre or Sigil for further editing but neither really support epub 3.

So if we can take the epub 3 features and convert them as little as possible, making liberal use of the data-* attribute and comments specially marked to be reversible, down-convert the epub3 metadata and the like, the user may be able to edit it in calibre or Sigil and get it to validate, and yet make it easy to auto convert back to epub 3 if possible.

That is the plan anyway.

Take care,

KevinH
