Of course. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't some other undocumented approach that might be used. Thanks.
As it turns out, my easiest solution to this quite restricted problem is to use a split/convert to PDF/edit with PDFelement/merge approach on the original Epub3 file to transform it into a final PDF "camera ready" version for submission to KDP. I think that combining this with some simple JS for the footer will allow me to use (after at most minor edit for the front matter page numbers) the printable TOC generated by Calibre. This gives me a controlled repeatable methodology that I can just turn the crank on as necessary to tune the final output.
Trying to flog the entire Epub3 document into just the right format by means of the conversion process may be an interesting challenge, but I think I'm over it at this point.
