To fix this, you can end up with workaround code which is a pain to maintain since it may not render even close to the same on multiple devices/apps.

Could be. It's only in epubs I've made where I started from scratch, e.g., a pdf from the internet archive or a Project Gutenberg book.
When I upload them here I only upload the epub and I figure if someone's looking for the book in kindle format they can download the epub and convert it in calibre. That's rather cavalier and they probably don't realize that they should look in both the kindle and epub book lists. I've wondered if I could put a stub in the kindle books forum pointing to the epub book with a note saying that they can convert the epub to kindle, but I'm not sure that would fly with the moderators. Then that got me to thinking that mobileread could provide that service (and encourage people to only upload epubs); there are web sites that do conversions and are using calibre on the back end.
