Unfortunately, the only way to have the epub recognized by the Kobo as an epub3 is to rename it to .kepub.epub which will trigger the use of the epub3 renderer. Kobo does not inspect the ebook to see which renderer to use. The rename does allow more epub3 features but highlighting and other features which depend on the spans added to a 'proper' kepub will not be happy campers. My work flow for epub3 is to run them through either the KoboTouchExtended driver or to use kepubify to add those spans.
If you use the epub2 renderer, RMSDK does have the nasty habit of dumping the CSS after it sees an error. At times, I wonder about Adobe's inability to write a decent error handler.
