I agree, he should have. But in the real world he won't. And so in a resource constrained environment, it's important that he not be deluded into thinking that running epubcheck should be his top priority. Which is all I'm trying to convey. Run epubcheck by all means, but please, please realize there's a lot more to producing a book that will render as you want it to, than doing an XML schema check. Indeed, running an XML schema check is just about the least important.
