I want mobi to go away because I suspect right now publishers are all targeting the lowest common denominator, ie mobi, in order to simplify and save money. It'd be like all web sites were still targeting IE3. ePub ain't the be all and end all; it's just the better of the two and what we have now.

Just take a look at ePub and the internal ToC. Some even go so far as to have links to this ToC. It's not needed. It's ePub. Also, I've seen cases where the publisher doesn't use a proper blockquote because Mobipocket doesn't as well.
You are 100% correct int hat we have lower quality ePub eBooks due to Mobipocket. If Mobipocket was to just go away, I think we'd have a lot better chance to have better quality ePub eBooks.
