Just browsing thru the thread and this caught my eye. Something to try that can eliminate a lot of heartache/burn:

I keep an empty "boiler-plate" epub, with every possible type of blank xhtml file already included, with its identifying name. such as: halftitle.xhtml, appendix.xhtml, foreword.xhtml, preface.xhtml, etc, etc, and with appropriate semantics already applied. I also almost always use the same name for stylesheets, so those links are pretty static. Then just paste in the desired marked-up text, including stylesheet links (usually created in notepad++) into the appropriate file.

Delete the files that aren't needed for that particular book. Whammo --- Now I can use my tedium quota for other things, like creating cross-linked footnotes, etc.

Of course, I am only a hobbyist, I don't know if this would be viable in a production environment.
