Version 2.1.1 (next post!) updates conversion slightly. I tested with the output you provided, and this generates a "correct" book (no extant HTML tags hanging around) when run with the "--strip-html" switch.

However, you will very likely still want to do some editing prior to running pielrf with any CLIT output. For example, running pielrf on raw CLIT HTML doesn't give you chapters, so you have one long book. And it's kind of "inelegant" to have the "THIS BOOK IS GREAT!" blurbs, followed by the Copyright Page, followed by the book itself, all in one shot.

So, pielrf --strip-html DOES work, but I recommend using striphtml to do the initial cleaning of all tags pielrf doesn't understand. THEN you can easily add <chapter> tags, and run THAT through pielrf. This will produce much nicer results, and only take a little extra time (depending on the complexity of the book).
