All the publishers need to do is get Adobe to make sure ADE caches and then sends the info the book feeds it.
There is no reason they can't simply tell the epub bookstores: "This is the book. Carry it or not, that's your choice. But if you don't, the other guy will. Or we'll sell it straight from our website."
Besides, the tech has so many uses: Registration, Authorization, even DLC!
The people who care more about the plumbing than the content (and we know who they are) will make sure the holy standard is fully adhered to.
And that everybody else buys Kindle.
This is simply a bad idea.
Which is exactly why the BPHs love it.
They have a recent tradition to uphold.
