I was looking at an epub converted by Calibre.
Cleaning it up I ran epubcheck and found it warning on numerous lines:
That's the "<div class="calibre11">" line below.
Obviously this is awful spaghetti code, but I thought it was at least valid.
Is it invalid to have a div within a span? Sigil's "well formed"check is OK, all readers are OK.
