Like Paul I am all in favour of MathML instead of dumb "islands", and hope that eBook readers will start to render it directly. We are working on an eBook reader for iPhone that uses TeX for rendering. It's looking good. :-) Oh, is there an RSS feed for this blog? Thank you for one of the few geeky blogs on ePub!

I remember that we discussed how links are supposed to work with fallbacks at one of the IDPF telecons and the consesnus was that this is the only sane interepretation. Can you create and issue for epubcheck and attach your sample file? This is clearly epubcheck error.

I assume that items in the NCX should behave like items in the spine and use the fallback attribute, but I don't remember reading about it in the specs. epubcheck is most likely looking for "OPS Core Document" formats in this case: either XHTML or DTBook.
