@RbnJrg - My limited understanding of epub3 is that if an epub2 application reads it, it will ignore epub3-specific language and render anything else that it can. How do you code for both when they have shared elements that require different values depending on whether it's being rendered in epub2 or epub3 applications?

@phillipgessert — I hadn't considered the potential impact of formatting consistency if you start breaking longer epigraphical text, but also have other similar "pages" with comparatively much shorter text blocks... Out of curiosity, would you prefer to break all the others for the sake of consistency (assuming they were all really short) or would you grit your teeth and live with the possibility-slash-likelihood that ONE of those epigraphical sections would split and run over onto the next page? Or is this kind of a game-time decision that depends on the weather and astrological alignments?
