One might reasonably assume that the least they'd do would be to "break" the existing decryption tool.

no, we don't, since none have been released. by the same token, we also don't know that epub files using different drm encryption systems will not have some obvious distinguishing characteristics !
regardless, all drm is crackable eventually, as the fact that almost all available encryption systems have already been cracked shows. i'm sure that any new ones will get cracked as well as soon as they start to become popular.
