If you look at the draft book standard there are reps from both Mobipocket and Irex. Also, buried in one of the links as you get to the shopping cart and announcement about 'DRM compatibility' (don't recall the exact wording) is expected 'soon'. A big guess is that there will be forward, if not backward, compatibility.

Side note, I didn't see Sony represented in the draft standard, but there were a large number of major publishing houses.

Earth to Sony - maybe you aren't driving this market.
