This is the "presets over options" debate.

Naturally, one would want to provide advanced options for advanced users, but the more options you provide, the higher the chances of someone screwing up their options that end up making epubs that work for them and not for anyone else.

I'm thinking of the mobileread community here, and the upload forum.

But the advanced options should be there for those who want them... just tucked away a bit.
