It will work better than the current method: test in Sigil, then send to the publisher and wait for him to come back and try to explain what he sees.

I'm avoiding anything more complex than necessary. Don't use SVG, for example.

I'm not selling them myself, there's only one client I do iBooks for a few times a year. The primary job is making PDF for printing, the ebooks are extras. He doesn't pay much, and I can't afford to buy Apple hardware just to test it for him.

I can get the job done now, but it would be simpler if I could be sure it was "iBooks compatible" myself.

Excuse me while I check if this forum has a block list.
-- It does! One less hassle.
