This. Also, have a look at the following sets of tips:

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/KF8#General_Tips
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MOBI..._MOBI_creation

and the sections of CSS and HTML tips that follow them. I've added to those lists (I think) every bug and misfeature that I've run into so far, and I'm doing some pretty intensely precise formatting (on iBooks, I'm even using shape-outside to trim my drop caps), so there's a good chance that the list is approaching sentience... err... I mean completeness.

I also put a Perl code snippet for crudely cleaning up SVG to work with older versions of iBooks on my publishing website. At some point, I'd love to create a full-blown EPUB linter that looks for all of the issues that I and others have noted in these lists, but I haven't had time to write one yet.
