I've been meaning to play around with pacify too, ahi... just don't have a lot of time this week, and am juggling other projects.

I'm overbusy myself... no worries.
The approach I intend to take in pacify, is to import only minimal formatting, and dress the output (whether LaTeX or HTML) with predefined templates (or, I suppose, optionally a user provided one).
However that's not really an option, unless you know what elements and classes the document uses. With pacify, I know that, because I basically (re)generate the HTML... but if the source HTML is to be faithfully preserved, intricacies may be impossible to address other than on a document by document basis (via a custom user-provided CSS stylesheet).
Of course... well formatted ePubs should have their paragraphs inside <P> tags and headers inside <Hx> tags... that much is easy enough to style. The problems start only if there are quotations, poems, tables, pictures, et cetera in there... most of which could be handled in a variety of different ways in HTML.
