Ah, it works!! And for each of the three device types. Not quite sure what happened. Now I can sleep well tonight.

That is not how it works. Your HTML is not changed by kindlegen. The popup magic happens in the software that renders the book on Kindle apps and devices.
Okay, that's a big part of the question I was asking (Who does what to whom, and when?). Also, I do have a couple of Kindles on hand. One is a rather old Fire that probably needs an OS upgrade and hasn't been used in a year or so. The other is one of the new bigger Fires. So I may try stuff on them, but I'm really not doing any crazy stuff with the book formatting. So I think just using the Previewer should be fine.

You guys have been great. I just got a response to my question from Amazon Kindle support that was vaguely general and dodged answering the questions. Then I rephrased the question more simply and directly and got the same answer. But I'm confident now that the Previewer will show me everything I want. So you've been very helpful. Thanks again.
