In my opinion, that would be the task of a different king of ePUB processor/editor, something like Calibre or Sigil. I don't want (at least at the moment) to do "modify" the ePUB, just the changes that can be done with CSS (i.e., what I'd expect an ePUB reader to be able to do).

That was just an example. I'm not going to guess what class names the CSS of the book uses. If I open the source CSS to look, I might as well just alter the source CSS directly.

I know, maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. At the moment what I have in mind is something that works for "well behaved" ePUBs (those that use few classes, with relative units where possible, etc.) For other other more messy books, I don't think a robust and simple solution exists other than uncompressing the .epub, having a look at the CSS code and writing an appropriate CSS stylesheet to override it (the advantage over modifying the source CSS is precisely that you don't have to modify the original book, you can distribute the stylesheet and modify it in the future). This is what I meant with "some knowledge of CSS rules and of the classes used in the document".
