Interesting. You must be seeing different Vellum books from what I see. As I mentioned, I put my version of body, p and .subsq. Though last time I looked, the original CSS did not indent every paragraph. When I look at the text files, the first paragraph of the text has <p class="first first-in-chapter first-full-width">, sadly when I look at the CSS, there is no first, first-in-chapter for first-full-width in the CSS so removing undefined classes changes that first paragraph's p tag to <p> which means the text-indent: 0; is going to apply. The subsequent paragraphs getting indented by 1.5em.
The chapter header cleans up when I remove the embedded font, yet another automated procedure.
I actually went back and checked 23 Vellum created ebooks. Neither the 2 variants of the Vellum stylesheets caused all the paragraphs to indent and have extra spacing.
Perhaps you could post a sample of the CSS that is giving you every paragraph indented and with extra space between paragraphs?
All things considered, I will simply continue with my quick and dirty automate list that does 95% of the work for me and keeps my wife happy. Happy wife, happy life is rather true.
