... I'm fairly sure using KTE auto-fixes problems like <title/> purely as a by-product of it using the excellent calibre container functions to read epub and write kepub. It's not necessary to actively run a calibre beautify (pretty_all).
Tags like <title/>, <a id="xxx"/> are auto-expanded and useless (potentially harmful) markup like <i/>, <b/> are auto-removed.
