Well, that's only central to some kind of "modern" poetry. Classical poetry does not care so much about layout, just separate lines and stanzas, which is quite feasible (though rather cumbersome) with current ePub.

The only thing I'm missing (for poetry) is the kind of line alignment where long lines are wrapped and have the second part (often just a few words) right-aligned, preferably with a bracket. Well, that and line numbers, maybe.
