smashwords says this epub doesn't pass, but the validate page says it does. I'm flummoxed.

PROBLEM: Give a brief description of the problem METHOD: download the epub file from smashwords.
go to: http://threepress.org/document/epub-validate ask it to check the epub file. It passes. Smashwords says it doesn't pass. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. download the epub file from smashwords
2. go to http://threepress.org/document/epub-validate and check the file
3. see that it passes, but smashwords says it doesn't pass. I've emailed Smashwords several days ago. They do not respond. If it passes it should pass all tests. If it doesn't then it should fail all tests. I can't figure out what's going on here. RESULT: What happens? EXPECTED: What did you expect to happen? It is very important to state what your expectation is. PLATFORM: What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? ADDITIONAL INFO: Please provide any additional information below.

This does validate against epubcheck 1.2 for me locally. Smashwords may be doing additional validation (possibly with Apple's ITMSTransporter?). Only they can address this issue.

A little bit of hand work on the styling could greatly improve the readability of this book.

Thanks,

Dave

As per comment #2, this does not seem to be an issue with EPUBCheck
