Not under the control of the format, go bother the Dublin Core folks. Or, violate the DC, and include it anyway.
EPUB uses XML metadata already, and the format does not stop you from using series.
Oh, and keywords/genres are already available.

- XML-based semantic markup for the book texts, with CSS support but no generic elements such as <span> and <div>. There is a hierarchic section structure for books, chapters, prefaces, forewords, etc. All formatting such as italic and headings is done by specific elements. There is native support for footnotes, endnotes, images as out-of-text, in-text, in-line. There are semantic classes for dedications, epigraphs, poems, scenic directions, quotations, messages, etc. There is an automated TOC building with the possibility of customization.
- All not essential features like fonts, paragraph indents, drop caps are not supported and should be provided by the reader app or optional CSS.

See, now this is exactly the problem. You have loosely-defined "non-essential features", so no one really understands what your proposed format offers.
And the few things you have specified, are all things that everyone else here explicitly feels are crucial for ebooks.
And then you tell me that they should be provided by "optional CSS"... what, precisely, do you think we are all already doing, with EPUB?

Coolreader desktop, Coolreader Linux (on a device), and Coolreader for Android.
Do you need a list of those that had loaded the file but shew the poem wrong too?

So, still just Coolreader.
And you keep on ignoring the part where I specifically asked you for *all* the other devices, that implies I am interested in all your claims, not just the ereader that you claimed wouldn't load the file at all.
In other words:
Yes, and whatever possessed you to think there even might be a marginal chance that I wouldn't want them?
