But if the publisher decides to set margins on all p, you will get extra margin. I have a book where everything is wrapped inside a blockquote. The reader displays text with wide margins, which is normally the right thing to do. It would take a bit of work to figure out whether the book is doing something wonky and override it.

I don't think that's the problem. I tried a few books (drm free) on both stanza and bluefire. On bluefire the margin on the left is about double the margin on the right on every book I tried (lowest margin setting). On stanza I don't get the wider left margin. It has nothing to do with publisher formatting as it even happens with an epub font test I got at this site.
And JS, the margin on the left is almost as big as ibooks's.
Actually ibooks also has a slightly wider margin on the left but the difference between left and right margin isn't quite as big since ibooks already has a big right hand margin also.
