Makes me long for the days when things were just HTML, before CSS even existed, and all you had to do was put

But you're making it harder then it needs to be. I've not seen a section break ornament with such restrictions. In every case I've seen, it's just the graphic at the size it is centered with some space above and below.

As for iBooks, sometimes you do have to make a version of the eBook just for iBooks and one for everything else. This is the way it is because iBooks is not standard in a lot of instances. Just ask Hitch if you want to see someone rant at iBooks and it's issues. Oh and don't forget, the 1st gen iPad with the older iBooks can work differently then the current version iBooks for all the other iPads. So you might want to get a 1st Gen iPad to also test on.
