If it's a significant problem, I can add code to automatically do epub3->epub2 conversion--EpubMerge already has that code.

So far, I have yet to see a compelling reason to implement epub3 natively.
One reason is most ePub these days are being released as ePub 3. So these omnibus that are to be slit could be ePub 2, ePub 2/3, or ePub 3. And the newer they are, the better chance of just ePub 3.

When you convert from ePub 3 > ePub 2, does all the ePub 3 code get removed? Do things like <figure> get changed to <div>? Do small-caps get converted to a font size (I prefer 0.8333em)? There are a number of things that may be best done by hand if the conversion doesn't do it properly.
