What is really needed is a wholly separate format for academia instead of trying to bloat up a trade publishing spec.

I agree. Some things are not suited to the epub standard, and may never be. I can't imagine reading a large blueprint on an ereader or tablet, and often not that easy on any display I can afford to buy.
Of course I would have said that for cookbooks and technical books with a lot of pictures until I recently came across a few that were very well done.
Almost anything can be improved, but adding complexity can often lead to confusion, and people thinking that because it is there they should somehow use it.
I like the calibre approach of plugins. If you need it you can get it, but it if you don't then it is not there cluttering up your interface.
