I do not understand this comment: the <guide> is optional in EPUB 2:

Within the package there may be one guide element, containing one or more reference elements.
(from http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF...htm#Section2.6 ), so an EPUB 2 file whose OPF file does not have a <guide> is still a valid EPUB 2, right?
