But only because you can't really read, edit, sell or share imaginary epubs built to a "better" spec.
Face it: the current ePub spec is largely ignored whenever it suits specific vendors of devices/apps that must read the ePubs. That wouldn't change with your new utopian ePub spec. So what's the point of building (or even imagining) a better--more concise-- imaginary ePub spec that would be adhered to (or supported/implemented
in toto) by almost no one?
Don't get me wrong ... idealism can be fun. There's nothing wrong with dreaming about what
could be. It's just that most of us here (with intimate knowledge of how ePub works--
practically--on a range of devices/apps) have already gone through that idealistic phase long ago ... and had it crushed out of us by reality.
