3. The conversion program has several clean up functions and can be used to take a file that has issues and make it more readable.
4. Upgrade the versions of epub.
5. Fixes the css sheets.

1. Polish or Modify ePub can do this without touching the most of the code
2. That requires editing the ePub, so shy not just fix it while it's in the editor anyway?
3. Not always. Garbage in, garbage out. Just look at what you get from a poorly made Word document. It can be a right mess and that's after a conversion. Plus ePub > ePub won't fix it.
4. Why? There's no need to convert ePub 2 to ePub 3. You gain nothing at all unless you want ot go into the ePub 3 and edit it.
5. A conversion won't fix most of the problems in CSS. That requires you to do it by hand.
