I strongly disagree that Kobo has moved the EPUB standard forward. They've implemented their own non-standard additions on top of the EPUB2 standard to handle things that are not part of the EPUB2 standard (such as, what is your position when you close a book). If Kobo were moving the standard forward, they'd be supporting the EPUB3 standard (it's about a year and a half old at this point) for everything it can support and adding to that standard if they need more features. I believe that the EPUB3 standard actually handles everything the kepub format does.
