Check out the new (still alpha level) plugin attached here:

I've tried the new version on a couple of epub3's - including the first ever epub3 I made, that passed epubcheck a couple of years ago - without any issues. Actually, "the firstever" went from over one hundred errors in ACE to zero immediately.
You asked in a previous post, if I could get som PD booksamples with accessibility features, and I've tried to find some. There are many publishers purporting to distribute accessible epubs, but usually they just use a subset of features (even Matt Garrish doesn't make his own books on accessible epubs accessible
), or the epubs are made from a DAISY talking book source, which makes the coding unnecessary complicated and messy. I've found one that looks ok, though:
https://github.com/benetech/Accessib...Book_v2.2.epub
from
Benetech/Diagram Center
The definitive guide, which in it's epub incarnation is supposed to be an example in itself, should be the
BISG Quick Start Guide to Accessible Publishing, but you have to be a member to lay your hands on it. (Free personal membership available, but you have to be "approved" - I haven't got approved yet).
<sarcasm>Hey, this is about making books accessible, so let's make the guide as un-accessible as possible.</sarcasm>
On another note: The Accessibility Standard is supposed to be usable on epub 2's also, but I should be surprised if the industry actually went and converted the entire backlist.
