Hubris, indeed. Arrogance maybe? Does the OP acknowledge any country or language other then their own?

My final thoughts on this:

XMDF and it's predecessor MDF has been around since 1985 - this is over 10 years before OEB (now EPUB) was a twinkle in the IDPF's eye.

It's already been decided that XMDF is the format in Japan for the digital publishing process. The Japanese government has approved XMDF, the publishers have approved XMDF, the EPAJ has also agreed - it's done.

EPUB will never be the standard in Japan, get over it.
