Sorry if i'm interfering but nobody says that they should include limitations. Though they could make clear what is the expected handling on devices with low resources. Sax and StAX, HTTP 1.1, MIME and a lot other specifications provide implicit solutions for low-resource devices. Why should a format specification like ePub doesn't take care of such concerns?

The specification is intended to give content providers (e.g. publishers, authors, and others who have content to be displayed) and publication tool providers, minimal and common guidelines that ensure fidelity, accuracy, accessibility, and adequate presentation of electronic content over various Reading Systems.
