I totally agree. For those who want epub3 support Kovid has stated plainly how you can at least start to get him interested. That is, show him a use case that he cares about. My technical knowledge of the two standards is admittedly limited and is likely to stay that way. However, it seems to me a good start to seeking epub3 support would be to present any use cases and worry about whether Kovid cares about any of them later. The only such case I see in this thread was raised by Kovid himself, being series metadata, which clearly does not alone justify implementing an entire standard which is very lightly used right now.

So, what are your use cases for epub3?
