  2. the kepub contains an outdated version "Kobo Style Sheet Hacks", which causes some problems like empty lines between p-tags. These KSSH problems are discussed on MR elsewhere.
Kobos answer has always been: no.

Asking Kobo to update a regular epub to the latest available version… I'm sure that the anwer will be (again): no.
They won't update just because the publisher has released a new version. You have to report a fault with the book.

If there is a fault and they won't update the book, then just take the refund and buy the new version of the book. I've always been offered a refund when reporting a fault with a book.
