This problem is also seen with other formats. As soon as fault tolerance is being introduced as 'normal', the specifications are watered down and more deviations are created.

This is the reason why there are standards. If one abides to one, it should work on all that follow those standards. If there is a fault in implementing the standard, you have a point.
Not quite understanding your meaning.
Are you saying that the PRST1 sets the standard?

My T1 reads all kinds of ugly public domain books(poorly formatted, nonstandard fonts, etc.) and sometimes chokes on books that appear perfect downloaded from library or stores using ADE or Sony reader software.

My other Sony readers have no problem with these books.

Given the fact that many software glitches are still present on the T1 I think it is a little presumptious to put the entire blame on the epub file.
