You say that as if it’s a simple function. Far from it. I, for one, have no intention of going anywhere near that particular can of worms.

While it’s true that some EPUB 3 books are basically “EPUB 2 with a couple of tiny changes,” many actually take advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the EPUB 3 format. Those simply cannot be automagically downgraded to EPUB 2; such a change requires complex intervention which is far beyond the scope of the Modify EPUB plugin.

So, you can wish for it all you like, but you’d probably have better luck looking for dedicated conversion software or pleading for someone to create an entirely new plugin for that specific task.
