---------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, I notice you added a
{code:xml}
<sub-class-of type="application/epub+zip" />
{code}
to the iBooks identification information. I'm not sure this is correct, as I
was under the impression that this was a strict conformance hierarchy. This
would imply that every x-ibooks+zip also conforms to the epub+zip format, but
this is not the case, because the new MIME type declaration means it violates
the ePub standard.
