Perhaps you are unfamiliar with modern CSS. Again, our CSS is perfectly valid modern CSS. You may even unzip one of our "advanced" epubs and open any of its XHTML files in your desktop web browser to confirm that your browser understands our CSS perfectly. The fact that software from 2012 does not understand it, does not make it invalid. it means you're using software that is too old. I would not expect a website designed in 2020 to render correctly on Netscape Navigator, and we will also not be making our epubs compatible on abacuses.
Additionally, the CSS you're pointing to is from our "advanced" epub, which again you should not be using on any ADE platform. The "compatible" epub is processed to simplify (most) complex selectors to class selectors which just about any ereading system can understand. This resulting CSS in the processed ebook is less readable, but it's not meant to be readable; it has been processed by an automated build chain.

We are a group of volunteers and our time is limited. Instead of being aggressively rude about it, literally calling us liars and insulting the hard work of volunteers who gave it to you for free, you are free to volunteer to improve it yourself. I'm surprised they allow that kind of rudeness on these forums. We would certainly not allow it on our mailing list.
