Thanks,
Sorry. It's just a shorcut to what I (and others) would call the mobi markup language. It's what's in the *.html file in the Mobi 7 folder. The (nearly) raw output of the mobi-only portion of a kindlebook (image references and the like are rebuilt). Very similar to HTML 3 with a few additions (and plenty of garbage).

There's currently some work going on in another project to upgrade a semi-retired mobiml2html script to take that mobi markup and spit out something as close to xhtml as possible (while maintaining the formatting of the original book). It's made more difficult by the sheer amount of junk that can sometimes be found in that mobi markup (inline elements that cross block-level element boundaries, improperly nested and/or mismatched tags, as well as opf and ncx markup in the headers and bodies). Not to mention tags that are invalid/deprecated in xhtml.
