For the audio and video we are thinking of comparing MediaTypes from Epubcheck output and compare it to our specified allowed mediatypes (audio, video and else wont be there) and then accept only those without audio, video etc.
And how would you make the rule for external references to audio and video? Because they are reported in References (Epubcheck output) as simple references in the document. And we dont want to disallow all this references just references to audio and video. Still investigating this.

The main concern here would be externally referenced audiovisual content in EPUB 3. Looking back at the blog it does seem a bit odd we didn’t explicitly address this (although none of the publishers we’re dealing with at the moment use A/V content, and the vast majority still supply EPUB 2). But this may well change in the future, so I think we should add a rule for this. Thanks for pointing this out!

It seems that KB doesn’t reject files with external references.
Since external references aren’t good from a preservation perspective, could you possibly explain why KB’s policy doesn’t include this concern?
