Hitch, to answer your question: with no SMIL files no synchronous highlighting is possible (not only in iBooks, but in EPUB 3 in general). Moreover, since Media Overlay is not part of EPUB 2, such a functionality is not available in EPUB 2.
AlPe:

Thanks for confirming what I already thought was right; we've made lots'a synchronized iBooks files, using SMIL's, and I was pondering what mysteries of ePUB3 had occurred (of which I was unaware) that somehow made synchronous highlighting possible sans the SMIL, which, obviously, we bookmakers would ALL love to not have to do, as you know all too well.

So, if the OP is still around, we've solved this, correct? At least, vis-a-vis the SMIL media type? Did we solve the duration issue?
