I can post an epub sample if someone is iterested in in looking at it...

The Adobe renderer doesn't support any of the css often used to create small-caps or pseudo-small-caps (font-variant, letter-spacing, text-transform). Whether that is Adobe's whim or whether these items are just not included in the Epub2 spec I'm really not sure. I can't see Kobo jumping through any hoops to change this situation as I suppose they're more interested in the kepub ACCESS renderer, which I believe does already support font-variant and letter-spacing (not sure about text-transform).
If you're trying to say that you can't use a true small-caps font for just part of a paragraph then you're wrong - I do it all the time for standard epubs. But you do have to use a css combination of font-family and @font-face to do it plus you also need to use the Kobo Patcher to prevent the Kobo force-overriding font-family for <p> tags. I can understand that most people won't bother doing this, but it is easily do-able for those who want it enough.
