Sorry Eric, I mean it has to be the first file listed in the zip. This
is from,

http://www.idpf.org/ocf/ocf1.0/download/ocf10.htm

"...but MUST also contain a "mimetype" file as the first file in the ZIP
archive to aid in the easy identification of the media type of the
container. [See section 3.4]"

By first do you mean at the top level or do you mean the first file
listed in the zip?

Thanks for the quick fix and the additional information!!

I got my book to build an open in Stanza desktop. There are still a few
validation errors from the on-line validator, bit I think I know how to
fix most of them.

One that perplexes me is that I got an error about the expected
mimetype. The mimetype file I place at the root of the package contains
"application/epub+zip" and the validator tells me that my package has
the wrong mimetype and it is expecting "application/epub+zip"...

Is there something subtle that I'm missing?

Thanks for this bug report, Bob. I'm surprised xsltproc never cared but
the code was horribly casual with namespaces, and this has been resolved
in SVN.

Eric: You can either grab a new epub/docbook.xsl here
http://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/xsl/epub/docboo
k.xsl
or wait for one of the snapshot builds.

Please let me know what I can do to help you get Ant going. I'm not an
Ant user, but have a basic understanding of the three ePub specs. You
may find this list of resources useful:
