Sure, I'll be happy to. Most issues I come up against are typically limitations of this or that EPUB viewer software though. I'm not sure if these are the kinds of issues you want epubcheck to check. If so, I'll be happy to open bug reports for it. Perhaps epubcheck should get a --rendering mode that can be used to check issues that affect rendering on various EPUB viewers.

There's already a long list of these types of issues at http://bugs.calibre-ebook.com/wiki/ADEQuirks that affect Adobe Digital Editions. Most of these issues have probably been fixed in newer ADE releases, but the existence of legacy readers means that EPUB documents need to workaround them to be sure of rendering well on old SONY readers for example.
