Re: [docbook-apps] ePub 3 weird results when converting to mobi

I have seen the same errors with kindlegen, but never found anything wrong in my HTML.  The <abbr> element is valid in HTML4, XHTML, and HTML5, so I think that's a bug in kindlegen.  With <dl> lists, it seems to lose track of element nesting, even with validly nested elements.

Good afternoon:

I was able to validate the book I'm working on. Now when I use Kindlegen to convert to Mobi I get multiple errors like the ones below

     [exec] Warning(inputpreprocessor):W29007: Rejected unknown tag: <abbr class="acronym">

I remember that late last year this also came up but was not able to find a resolution.

I am using the kindle.extensions parameter and can copy my customization layer if needed.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong to generate the extraneous code?
