This would be one reason it's "in the works" instead of already deployed.

Man, way to completely miss the point! Here's a tip: more formatting is not the same as more effective formatting. Crack open a Phoenix Pick ebook sometime and just look at the code. Even better, open the book in your average reader and see what you think of how it renders. To be blunt, the ones I've gotten from them have been absolutely hideous... but boy, did they have a lot of formatting code!

Anyway, Modify ePub is about cleaning out excess code, not mindlessly stripping out useful code.
