Good idea. In fact, I just did a simple keyboard macro to go through
the file and export subtrees. Only 12 chapters, so not much of a call
for anything more difficult.

Fair question. Using something like Calibre is what I would normally
do. I have also used Sigil to build ePub books from a single html file.
It is good since you can add some final editing touches.
I got started on it because I was having a look at pandoc which purports
to build ePub directly. But it doesn't split the files.
Anyway, the (dumb) answer is that I was just fooling around looking at
the internals of ePub structure. Trying to avoid real work :-).
