Are you offering to write the code to do that?
Are you offering to write the tutorial to explain how to make ePubs that pass SW's validation system, when as far as we know, every device, every program, has different ways of deciding what "valid" ePubs are? (Yes, there are official standards. None of the devices is actually using those, which makes them "more like guidelines, really.")
Smashwords isn't a publicly-traded company with a board of directors and a billion-dollar budget. It has a tiny staff. It may have a one-person staff. Insistence that it "should" provide various features need to be backed with an awareness of who would be providing them--and what services would vanish while they set that up.
