I want ePub to "win", but my personal scorecard gives heavy weight to this dictionary-lookup standardisation, and it's on the essential technical, rather than style, part of the scoring.

Didn't know that about .mobi- thanks for the info! The ePub group is working on 3.0 right now- wonder if this is under discussion.
