An ePub reader that supports ePub3 could, therefore, use this data.
HarryT, you are right. Thanks. When I said EPUB, I should have qualified it as EPUB2.

Not sure how "collection" and "group-position" are supported in practice. For example, if you modify "series" and "number" of an EPUB2 book with calibre, will they ever appear as "collection" and "group-position" as an EPUB3 output by calibre?
