Perhaps a better way of stating this would be:

Not to indulge my inner pedant, but if we
don't make clear our intentions, we make it harder for those who
get stuck editing our work come after us to work with those ePUBs. I mean, at what point are we just Calibre (p class=25, class=26)?
We can and should do better, if for no other reason than trust me, in one-two years, you won't remember what the hell you thought you were doing with span class X and p class Y. :-) I learnt that lesson long ago, when I got back ePUBs for revision and thought "what the holy hell was I
thinking?" Better to use commenting and to clearly name what we're doing. Laziness is all well and good if it won't come back to bite you in the ass, but in my line of work, I can say that ass-biting is all too often a result.
