When going to Kindle Direct Publishing's Supported HTML Tags page (https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A1JPUWCSD6F59O) <abbr> is not there. I guess that's why Kindlegen is throwing a fit.
This may be a good place to review when we hit that kind of problems.

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.

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

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?
