EPub standards are defined by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IPDF), not by the writers of ePub rendering engines.
But if you do not make your eBooks compatible with ADE/RMDSK, then you will have poor sales and a lot of returns. Most Readers use RMDSK. Most computers have ADE (you need it to download DRMed ePub). Sure you can use the full IPDF standard, but when something doesn't work with ADE, it won't work for most people.

When I say most, I'm talking about most of the people who download/buy ePub.
