Kobo's current publications seem to wrap <span> tags around everything but other than that oddity, most of the differences between how ebooks are displayed seems to be due to rendering differences between the Adobe RMSDK and the ACCESS NetFront renderers.
And yes, there are several areas in the EPUB 2.0.1 specification which have been clarified, deprecated or removed in the EPUB 3.0.1 specification. There are documents available on generating EPUB2/3 compatible ebooks though most of them make for turgid reading best suited to a night when insomnia looms.

I knew that ACCESS is in theory an epub3 renderer (although epub3 has not killed widows and orphans, doesn't it?, but Kobo/ACCESS has...
). And I also knew that ncx are not "used" in epub3.
But in any case, I have a "pure" epub2 book, so unless you are fully crazy in your software design, even if it is an epub3 reader, it should work with the old epub2 books. So it should work even if the book doesn't include any kind of the new and improved ncx-like whatever ToC format (because as already said it's not an epub3 book but an epub2 one...). So it should work with the repeated toc entries which are
explicitly mentioned in epub2+ncx spec, (
unless I'm making some mistake somewhere).
