Hi JSWolf,

How would you want it to handle the following:

nav document - keep it or discard it?

html5 specific tags - these don't exist in xhtml1.1 - keep or strip out, or comment out?

epub3 specific attributes such as data-* and epub-type and ...

smil, pls accessibility features - how would you deal with those?

javascripts - how should those be dealt with?

etc.

As you can see it is much easier to go from valid epub2 to epub3 since 3 is generally a superset of 2, but going the opposite way will be quite hard and could easily end up losing lots of pieces and functionality. I am not sure it can be done in any rational way unless the epub3 book used no new features over the epub3 set.
