How is your proposed format a predictable experience, if you still cannot explain to us what the specs are for your proposed format?

I've never said anything like this. I said none of the readers could display the poem as ADE did (or FF EPUB plugin, which is irrelevant to my devices). Some of the readers failed to open the file, the others did not.
And I asked, which other readers? So far, you have named only Coolreader, and been very vague about what the other ones are.

Once again:

You said it doesn't work in multiple ereaders. What are the other ones that you say failed?

Regarding Coolreader itself, how interesting.

Even in CoolReader you could read the "mouse tail" poem by making some changes in the epub.css and fb2.css files inside the CoolReader folder.
I assume RbnJrg means that CoolReader is breaking the EPUB in question by defining nonstandard custom CSS.

I am very ashamed of you, for complaining about the lack of EPUB standardization and then using a non-standard app to try to prove your claim.
