There is a great deal of silliness in how epub renderers work and it is NOT consistent even within brands. Nook barfs with too many changes in the first line, early apple doesn't match later apple, Kindles are not kindles if they are early Kindles etc.
This is why Hitch's company owns so many devices. It is not because she wants to support the manufacturers, but because that way she can be sure it works adequately in devices.
Epubs are not web pages. They are rendered a page at a time, so it has to be structured in a particular way to keep from blowing up. A web page keeps on going one and on and on and has access to a powerful computer to guess what the dopey programmer meant when they left off all the paragraph close tags.
