Hmmm... hardly hidden and unknown. The ACCESS Netfront Book Viewer EPUB edition uses the EPUB3 specification as it's basis. See the IDPF webpages for more information -- http://www.idpf.org/epub/301/spec/ep...lications.html. You can also check readium.org's website as well. Kobo's current publications seem to wrap <span> tags around everything but other than that oddity, most of the differences between how ebooks are displayed seems to be due to rendering differences between the Adobe RMSDK and the ACCESS NetFront renderers.

And yes, there are several areas in the EPUB 2.0.1 specification which have been clarified, deprecated or removed in the EPUB 3.0.1 specification. There are documents available on generating EPUB2/3 compatible ebooks though most of them make for turgid reading best suited to a night when insomnia looms.
