Issues

Dramatis Personae:

Remove the periods after character descriptions.
Instead of using <br/>s for the groupings, just apply the description to all the characters like such:

				<li>
					<p>Amiens, lord attending on the banished duke</p>
				</li>
				<li>
					<p>Jacques, lord attending on the banished duke</p>
				</li>

Note how the descriptions were changed to singular form.
The the comma after "Oliver’s house" needs to be a semicolon.

Personas:

"Jaques De Boys" --> "Jaques de Boys"

Stage Directions:

There are multiple stage directions that need to be in their own <tr> element, like other "major" stage directions. The trick is that 99% of stage directions that begin with "enter" or "re-enter" are major stage directions. Check Acts 1 and 2.
There are some stage directions missing epub:type="z3998:stage-direction" semantics. Check Acts 3, 4, and 5.

Songs/Verse:

Now that the songs and some verse are in <blockquotes>, the indents need to be adjusted. It looks like single indents need to be removed, and two indents become single indents. A song in Act 2 that looks like this:

							<td>
								<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song">
									<p>
										<span class="i1">Under the greenwood tree</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">Who loves to lie with me,</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">And turn his merry note</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">Unto the sweet bird’s throat,</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">Come hither, come hither, come hither:</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">Here shall he see</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">No enemy</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">But winter and rough weather.</span>
									</p>
								</blockquote>
							</td>

would become this:

							<td>
								<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song">
									<p>
										<span>Under the greenwood tree</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Who loves to lie with me,</span>
										<br/>
										<span>And turn his merry note</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Unto the sweet bird’s throat,</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Come hither, come hither, come hither:</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Here shall he see</span>
										<br/>
										<span>No enemy</span>
										<br/>
										<span>But winter and rough weather.</span>
									</p>
								</blockquote>
							</td>

Act 3:

Don't apply verse semantics to both <td> and <blockquote>. Only apply it to the immediate element surrounding the verse, which would be the <blockquote> for "From the east to western Ind...".
OK, this is where things get tricky. This section you have verse, followed by song, interrupted by "but", followed by more song, followed by a stage direction. This is how I recommend structuring Touchstone's dialogue:

							<td epub:type="z3998:persona">Touchstone</td>
							<td>
								<div epub:type="z3998:verse">
									<p>
										<span>Come, sweet Audrey:</span>
										<br/>
										<span>We must be married, or we must live in bawdry.</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Farewell, good Master Oliver: not⁠—</span>
									</p>
								</div>
								<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song">
									<p>
										<span class="i1">O sweet Oliver,</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">O brave Oliver,</span>
										<br/>
										<span>Leave me not behind thee:</span>
									</p>
								</blockquote>
								<p class="contiued">but⁠—</p>
								<blockquote epub:type="z3998:song">
									<p>
										<span class="i1">Wind away,</span>
										<br/>
										<span class="i1">Begone, I say,</span>
										<br/>
										<span>I will not to wedding with thee.</span>
									</p>
								</blockquote>
								<p>
									<i epub:type="z3998:stage-direction">Exeunt <b epub:type="z3998:persona">Jaques</b>, <b epub:type="z3998:persona">Touchstone</b> and <b epub:type="z3998:persona">Audrey</b>.</i>
								</p>
							</td>

This is very tricky stuff. If you run into situations like this, <div> can help but use it sparingly. If you want to see more instances of <div>s used in Shakespeare, look at Hamlet. That one was terrible!

Act 4:

In Forester's song, move the stage direction ("The rest shall bear this burden...") to the above line.
Act 4, Scene 3: There is a mixture of verse and prose. The verse is in <blockquote>s while the prose is outside, surrounded by <p>. The dialogue should look like this:

							<td epub:type="z3998:persona">Rosalind</td>
							<td>
								<p>She Phebes me: mark how the tyrant writes. <i epub:type="z3998:stage-direction">Reads.</i></p>
								<blockquote epub:type="z3998:verse z3998:letter">
									<p>
										<span>Art thou god to shepherd turn’d,</span>
										<br/>
										<span>That a maiden’s heart hath burn’d?</span>
									</p>
								</blockquote>
								<p class="continued">Can a woman rail thus?</p>
							</td>

The dialogue ( beginning with "Why, thy godhead laid apart...") is structured correctly, but the <p>s need the "continued" class.

Act 5:

Unlike the other songs, "It was a lover and his lass..." is not centered, therefore it does not go into a <blockquote> (it's stupid, but I'm trying to follow the weird formatting as closely as possible). This can indicate that Shakespeare wanted to emphasize this song. This change also occurs in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I still wonder why this is...
"Pages" in the stage direction ("Enter two Pages.") should be surrounded by <b epub:type="z3998:persona">.
Make sure to run se clean . one more time.
