I suspect that the more publishers who send Apple an email saying, "WTF are you trying to do? Fire all your retarded engineers now and hire some who will comply with the clearly-defined standard," the better.

Oh and besides I was also thinking about embedding some characters as pictures but what about the increasing and resizing of the font? The image would not be affected. Also the textflow around the image is problematic.

Doing it as an image is obviously not the solution. Apple has, graciously, decided to allow ePubs to follow The Actual Spec as long as you include a 'magic' bit of
nonstandard xml.
The fact is that all this iPad bullshit is the worst thing that could ever happen to a developing cross-platform standard, and Apple is DIRECTLY TO BLAME.
