(Paranoia mode on) Perhaps they are even doing this to force future versions of the epub spec to include their way of doing things, instead of some other way, which may be better.

Witness the frustration of Cybook owners over how page-numbering (isn't) implemented in their Boo Reader. It's pretty obvious, from tests others have recently conducted, that Bookeen specifically implemented a page-numbering algorithm that was supplied by Mobipocket as both Mobi and Boo fail to handle certain page-jumping (Go To Page) improperly.
Now does Bookeen break from the Mobipocket 'standard' and implement a correct page-numbering algorithm - and hope Mobi's standards don't change - or do they stick with what Mobi has decreed?
