I'm not happy with having all elements needing to be reachable in a linear way, This makes footnotes still a problem. But the real problem is that epub supports so many things that I don't want to support (Im looking for a structural markup + css) and by the time that I normalize epub its another format, it just happens to be epub compliant.

This is my main worry with this. I hate the current format proliferation, and I would hate to add to it. At the same time, the generation of new formats comes because of needs or purposeful incompatibility... It was just another question to have some consideration on...
