It is—if HTML cannot provide semantic markup, users cannot customize it. Also, this way of thought is ridiculous—should we also not to have a customizable typeface, body text alignment and color schemes, because the publisher has already decided on them for us?
As for the format, we already have the tools we need: XML (not the obsolete (X)HTML, 5 or not), CSS and OPC to bring it all together. What we do not have, is the will coming from EBook consumers, not some 'open' 'standards' committee.
