When I look at some >10MB ePubs (as Kobo sells them) that are saturated with embedded fonts, hundreds of CSS files, thousands of styles, then yes, sometimes I think we need less formatting. Doesn't mean the book has to look worse, actually overusing styles is what causes many books to look horrible in the first place when it would look fine with just <h1> <p> <i>.
No reason for a new file format though; as long as it's still HTML you can just use a subset of HTML in regular ePub (and other html based formats)
