It merely gives a default setting, that in your case IS the default setting, but doesn't allow it to be switched off!

However, that setting now allows my reader to have that option and obviously I can't turn it off!

So, now both readers/formats are on par, a sort of compromise...
I completely understand that, Nick. I guess what I'm saying is that, desirable though it would be, in reality it's probably impractical to have completely "generic" HTML for multiple book formats. Final device-specific "tweaks" immediately before building the book will always be necessary to deal with the quirks of particular devices. I regard those basically as a part of the build process for a device.
