Your plan is flawed because HOW publishers (minions) code always needs to be considered on a book, by book basis. Because the same Publisher uses different minions. Some of those do not have a clue on how to use the 'house' stylesheet. They find the first style for a 'look' and use it throughout the book instead of using .preface for the Preface, .fm for front matter

I've seen p tags styled with .758em, 18pt , giant line-space (not 1.2).

Calibre conversions go for results (scale), not the cleanest of code. This is why a lot of us prefer edits vs same fmt Conversions.

Why the push to fully automate, when you can't read more than 1 book at a time
