True but the epub spec being such a ghastly mess is what motivated epubcheck in the first place. The vast majority of checking it does (XML schema checks) have been obviated by the move to HTML 5 where parsing is made robust instead of requiring HTML to be perfect. In general, the modern trend is to make parsers robust rather than serialization formats overly nit-picky.
