I'll do a random sampling across some of my Kindle-to-EPUB conversions and see if it's standard enough to strip out. If it's something that only gets added by a certain publisher, though, that's a bit more fine-grained than I prefer to get. I'm fine with stripping out gunk that's added by stores for their proprietary use, but not something that's in the publisher's original book; that's where I draw my line.

(Hm. That last phrase may sound harsh, but I don't mean it that way. I'm just saying that I don't see that sort of thing as the proper role of this plugin. That may just be a result of the way I use it, but there has to be a border somewhere, and that's where I perceive it to be.)
