Thanks for working on this! I think we need to ping upstream about missing hej/data folder in the last tag. Without it xml-maven-plugin or epubcheck won't work [0]. My other concern is Schematron upgrade [1]. We might actually want to package SaxonHE 9.8.0.7 or newer to support both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0.
