What I see is missing is simple tools (CSS, not java or hand coded SVG...) for placement in a variable font size with reflow environment.
the ability to invert the box model: make the borders fit around the content+padding
Vertical Placement based upon the view area Vertical metrics (v%, vcenter, vbox-baseline)
This also implies that the wissy-washy EPUB spec become a licensed STANDARD. You must meet the full minimum standard or you can not use the name EPUB. Just like USB, HDMI and other standards agencies do. Any manufactures extensions can not break the base EPUB if rendered on another brand
It is absurd that all the hoops e-book wranglers need to go through for the various brands that claim EPUB support, just to produce something other than a fairly basic book.
