If it wasn't for the cancer that is DRM I'm sure an excellent open format like FB2 would become the de facto standard for the industry.
It would have a much better chance if FBreader would support tables. The format is another XML definition about like all the others. ePUB has a standards committee behind it and is likely to be better moving forward. FB2 doesn't have too many eBooks available in English yet.
