The extended driver does the kepub transformation on the fly because at the time it was developed, there was little point in storing kepub anywhere other than on a Kobo device. Nothing else uses them, and while the spans added don't really harm anything, they are a nuisance if you edit the book.

which is not the same as some Kobo kepubs, as they will have no formating not in the epub.
No idea what you mean here. Are you comparing Kobo produced kepubs against those generated by the extended driver? If so, most purchased kepubs I have seen pretty well match the epub they also make available. Occasionally, I see differences, but, it is obvious that different versions of the book were supplied to Kobo versus what went to the ACSM servers.
