I think that Christian is proably right: for ePub generation, there are
other tools that do the job. Two ways that are easy:

org -> html -> tidy -m -asxhtml -> (calibre || sigil)

I have had trouble getting the calibre ePub to validate, but it is more
straightforward than Sigil. On the other hand, Sigil is easier to use to add
editing to the basic text and always seems to pass the validation tests.

To get proper validation, I have found that the "tidy" step is necessary.
Not sure why - tidy always replaces lots of characters, but I haven't had
the time to work out what is going on.

Cheers,
Alan
