Thanks, @DNSB.

That makes sense. I won't be supporting anything but a string, but I wanted to confirm it wasn't inside another object or something. I can check the type while parsing it.

There is no guarantee that the custom column(s) being used to derive Kobo subtitle is #subtitle (e.g. mine is #awards). But perhaps your're saying that, for simplicity, you only intend to support this simple scenario.
Yes, that's correct. I'm only going support a custom column named "#subtitle", as it appears to make the most sense to me out of all the ways of having non-standard Calibre metadata.

Which standard EPUB3 metadata is calibre not supporting?
  • All EPUB3 metadata around meta[property][refines="#..."]. Series metadata isn't supported at all (it only supports calibre:series), you can't refine the role on a dc:author (it only supports EPUB2 opf:role), etc.
  • I don't think it supports EPUB3 nav documents.
  • I'm not 100% certian about this one, but I don't think it supports [properties="cover-image"] on manifest items.
