@DiapDealer...Thanks for the info. I was unaware that 'lang' was used that much in epubs so I guess I've learned something. I know that the html text is in utf-8 whereas I think the tag text is more or less ascii. So I'm slightly surprised that you need the 'lang' attribute everywhere in the html because I thought that utf-8 could be defined regionally for different languages within the epub html with the help of python. I guess that utf-8 isn't used like that when you use python in an html app.

Regarding the use of 'name' or 'id' -- I always use 'id' now because you will always get an error with epubcheck if you use 'name'. Although deprecated does not mean that you can't use it, it does infer that the 'name' attribute will be dropped from html sometime in the future -- perhaps when standard epub html eventually moves to HTML5. I also note that when you convert Word to HTML -- Word HTML still uses 'name' and not 'id'. So I'm guessing that that the removal of 'name' from epub html will not happen for quite a while.

Also, I think Kindle mobi allows the 'name' attribute'(because you can upload Word filtered html to KDP) whereas vendors that use standard IDPF epubs will not allow it.
