As for complaints about what Kobo is doing, this seems to be more an issue with the renderer so either Adobe/DataLogics or ACCESS would be the guilty parties.
I haven't tested any other setting but the original book ones.

And as davidfor says possibly the problem is the out-of-standard height=100% setting. But, every other renderer (Adobe or Calibre) works fine but ACCESS doesn't (Sigil seems defective in 0.7.4). So just as a friendly suggestion to Kobo I would recommend them checking why inferior renderers look better than them.

About the quality (both in obvious final layout and in internal coding) of current ebook editions I do agree with you... They are TOO frequently below the minimum expected level.
