Some EPUB processors are very limited in their namespace support, so
I've needed to do some tricky hoop-jumping to create output that works
as input for some of these tools. This may be why some of my choices
in the code look stupid or illogical. On the other hand, I may have
(and certainly have in the past) made stupid choices, so please let me
know if you think there are better techniques.
