That is, I wonder if they are using "lowest common denominator" only in terms of keeping their mobi and epub editions similar (like, presumably, O'Reily does) or if they are using "lowest common denominator" in terms of reader capabilities.

If it's the latter, that somewhat negates most of ePubs potential advantages, even if a publisher wanted to exploit them.
If it's only the former, you'd think powerful epub sellers like B&N would demand their books feature the enhanced capabilities to show some superiority over Amazon.
Yes, all ePub readers that I know of support all the features I listed, including embedded fonts and SVG.
