Yes, I know, I've read that, but as is the case in many large corporations, right hand, left hand. Obviously, the minions down in Tech Support don't know that Amazon's telling people not to resubmit, because those same KDP'ers are sending out Kindle Quality Notices
most CERTAINLY telling them/us to fix the non-Enhanced Typesetting-ness.

Your experience shows a ridiculous change in Amazon's stance regarding this. You are now responsible for meeting standards that are never stated and for correcting errors that Kindle Previewer 3 detects and then doesn't bother to present to you!

Added: On the other hand, if the plugin helps you figure out the cause of ET failures you may be able to pick up new business from authors who have no clue on how to go about making their books ET compatible.

Well, there is that, but, not to sound snarky or whatever, we usually don't take "fixer-upper books." IME, fixer-uppers take longer than we can reasonably charge for. Reading someone else's HTML/CSS is just a headache.
