I'm not disagreeing with your points. I'm simply noting that this thread is not the place for that discussion.
We seem to disagree as to whether this is a bug. A decision not to support downloads that could easily not work with most reader software is, to me, not a bug. If you download the epub3 ebook as a .kepub.epub and use the ACCESS renderer to open the file, the publication should render properly. If you download it as an .epub and try opening it with ADE, an RMDSK-based renderer or other epub2 renderer, the experience may not considered acceptable by many.
