Not Quite

Your CSS can (and should always) be any Valid EPUB2 CSS.

Just don't expect a DOWN (to HTML 3.2 rules) conversion to always work out pretty.

There is a reason that some publishers do (not just a simple: Convert) multiple versions of a book. They want it to render a certain way.

Rule 1 for conversions: KISS. Don't do anything that causes those conversion issues.

Rule 2 Be prepared to release seperate format versions if you must violate Rule 1

IMHO a PHD button is a nice to have, NOT A must. Code as a simple link and be done with it. Note: depending on your sales channels, even that might be allowed.
