For the most part, Vellum is not aimed at those of us who would dig into the internals of the ePub.
Vellum's market is mostly indie authors who write their document in Word or other program generating .docx output and then feed the .docx file into Vellum to generate various flavours of ePub output (ePub2/ePub3, Apple, Kindle, Kobo, Nook, Google, generic) with an option for mobi for local testing on Kindle ereaders/apps. For non-ebook uses, you can generate an print ready output file.
As a group, the authors that I have dealt with are more concerned with generating output that will work without requiring them to know about stylesheets, ebook structure, etc. They do care about not generating masses of complaints.
