Would ePub 3.3 be able to handle that?

Also, with the images, if a side-by-side chat was short, the text displayed was huge, whereas if the chat was lengthy, the text was tiny, because all the images were displayed as full pages. It was a mess.
ZodWallop didn't ask what the problems are, he asked whether EPUB 3.3 could have been used to provide a decent presentation of the content.

So far, no one has answred that.
