Calibre is not trying to do what I described. The important thing is that you use limited markup and you make sure that this limited markup is transformed to something that "renders" correctly using engines like Calibre. By following this limited markup during the writing most works is done then.
But maybe that "limited markup" isn't what you want for your paper book. Maybe you want to make use of the options that today's technology gives us, in the look and feel of book text. (But which is, for the most part, not easy to replicate in an ebook.)
