Actually I do not think you should support proprietary formats but I do not see MobiPerl as a support of MobiPocket. For me the important format is what you archieve the book in and that should probably be something like epub. So Mobipocket can be used to convert from MobiPocket to some suitable base format. Convertingt from HTML to Mobipocket ör manipulating MobiPocket files I see just like something you do for your current display device and just a practical way to solve a problem that exists now.

And when you work on the format and expose the details you show how badly suited the format is for ceratin things so the knowledge about the format inccrease which makes it much more probable that you will switch to another better format.
