Yes, but add a <note> tag is so simple, they just need type some words in their standard document, but the problem is if and when will those companies support and implement it.
Actually, I think ePub should give up XHTML,adopt a more simple markable language only for books, such as naming BML or so.
<book>
<head><title value=''/><author value=''/><cover src=''/>
<style></style></head>
<body>
<chapter id=1><title/><text>....</text></chater>
<chapter id=2><title/><text>....</text></chater>
</body>
</book>
It uses XML for global structure, simplified HTML + CSS for content.
Notes can be written as
<text>
<p>abc<n src=1/>def</p>
</text>
<notes>
<n id=1>...</n>
<n id=2>...</n>
</notes>
