(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.
Actually, I am pretty sure they could find enough people to volunteer around here to help put such a thing in place.
