Thanks for all the efforts to provide support for Kobo devices in Calibre!

I believe that I've found at least two other tag-related bugs (similar to the recent issue) that haven't been discussed yet. Unneccessary tags are being added prior to some <a> and tags during EPUB to KEPUB conversion. I'll post example snippets below that illustrate a single paragraph, but can also provide scrambled EPUBs if necessary.

I'm running Calibre v4.19 and the latest plugin version (KTE v3.2.11). Each has been present since at least KTE v3.2.7. If it matters, the formatting appears correct when testing the conversion with kepubify.

Examples

Spoiler:

<a> Example (Original HTML):
I had fully determined at the conclusion of The Memoirs to bring Holmes<a id="GBS.1670.02"/> to an end, as I felt that my literary energies should not be directed too much into one channel. That pale, clear-cut face and loose-limbed figure were taking up an undue share of my imagination. I did the deed, but fortunately no coroner had pronounced upon the remains, and so, after a long interval, it was not difficult for me to respond to the flattering demand and to explain my rash act away.<a id="GBS.1670.03"/> I have never regretted it, for I have not in actual practice found that these lighter sketches have prevented me from exploring and finding my limitations in such varied branches of literature as history, poetry, historical novels, psychic research, and the drama. Had Holmes never existed I could not have done more, though he may perhaps have stood a little in the way of the recognition of my more<a id="GBS.1670.04"/> serious literary work.

 Example (Original XHTML):
Todd smiled as the homework assignments were wiped away. The Ultimate Test was canceled. His name was removed from the discipline list, and even the word DISCIPLINE soon disappeared.
