This issue at hand should not be whether or not fonts be embedded in an epub and it should not be whether or not epub creators override the device's default font. Embedding fonts and overriding device fonts are valid as part of the whole XHTML and CSS ethos.

The issue, rather, should be the inability of the device to provide the last and most important point of control of CSS inheritance. That is: the user has final control of font choice and size.
