Peter, thanks for coming here to post. I didn't expect an official reply from anyone at Adobe on this.
Just to be clear, I'm not anti-Adobe. It is just that I think it is always risky implementing things that are outside of a standard that you are trying to use (especially one as new as epub). It is also easy to be wary of any large corporation and their motives. I'm not saying that this is the case with Adobe in this situation. But with the track record of most software companies, you get a bit skittish after a while.
I admit that Adobe has certainly added some needed functionality, even if it is non-standard. Hopefully these issues will be addressed very soon by IDPF and the standard can be updated. Just to satisfy my curiosity, was there any IDPF input or discussion on the Adobe extensions, or are they all Adobe's idea?
Again, I'm sure we all appreciate the fact that you came here to clarify things.
