I'm not the quote i found using calibre just pretty much showed how to use the regular expressions. Indesign spans, calibre spans , I don't like spans.

Sigil and spans that hasn't got much span in it

finding lots of flawed epub generators, I think pages will take an indesign file now and not put spans around every word. It can't justify text but its better in some aspects. only thing that seems to handle pages fixed layout is ibooks so far playbooks which normally does a good job chokes on it even though everything validates!
