Technical cleanup?

Unfortunately, that's not really an option at this point. I also have little faith that the niggling technical errors will be corrected. It appears that Sigil and Calibre both focus on the visual presentation, which is great as far as it goes, but the technical issues that will keep a book out of Smashwords and Google Play relate to structure. If there is a tool -- commercial is an option -- to clean those up, I'm interested. It appears that the EPUB validator stops reading when it hits some errors, so the list expands and contracts based on what kind of errors show up.

Ideas welcome!
