MathML -- good point.
layouts in columns -- isn't that Fixed-Format? Totally different animal...
footnotes in popup windows work in EPUB2 as well -- a renderer feature.
Oh, great, some new CSS3 styles, we were just dying to have those... might I ask which ones you felt were important?
Scripts are an abomination, and the only thing about EPUB3 that I believe must be immediately consigned to the flames, destroyed, annihilated, NUKED FROM ORBIT!!!!
So I stand by my point, essentially, the only thing EPUB3 gives you (implies something you want) is audio, video, and MathML, and I didn't mention MathML, only because it answers a specific minority need (mathematical texts are a very small corner of the EPUB market).
