In short, make an engine around which you wrap a shell. Pull this off well, and I can think of a fair number of good things that could come of it.

Having worked with Greg on several other projects I would be surprised if he designed it any other way.
As I have been going over the basic design concept I keep finding little holes in epub, that make me want to consider making a native structural xml file. Perhaps something like a striped down version of DocBook or some other only structural base format. If a good number of input and output formats are provided at release, does anyone care what format the program "thinks in" is?
