Found that <big> tags are apparently not kosher in epub3.
Hard to confirm this as searching for "big" is pretty hopeless.

I had been using:

<big><big><big><big>H</big></big></big></big>

to make a standing cap and this seemed fine. Worked in epub2, passed epubcheck, worked when converted to mobi or AZW3.
Converted to epub3 and it still works, and it loaded on iBooks fine.
But it choked epubcheck.
I made an equivalent <span> and that passed.

Oddly, there seems no issue with <small>.

Probably too much to expect this to be fixed by the converter, but perhaps it could give a warning if the tag is present. I don't see it mentioned in the notes at the head of the thread.

Unrelated: when I save an epub3 file, it defaults to a folder in the top of "Documents and Settings" (a folder I never use for my working files). So I click up and down about 10 times to get to the folder I'm working in.
Then if I redo it and try again, it again starts at "Documents and Settings"....

Could it recall and use the last folder saved to; or default to the same folder as the epub2 file?
