If mobileread could stand for a different view, and voice that opinion I think it would be valuable.

I've trimmed you to three paragraphs. More seemed unnecessary.
My position on KFX is that it's probably a way to move some of the computational load of book layout from the ereader to Amazon's servers, making layout on Kindles better without slowing down page turns or eating battery life. I also expect that Amazon is still tweaking it.
I don't expect it to ever become the only format available from Amazon. If it did, it would be reverse engineered fairly quickly.
I don't think there's much of an official MobileRead view on anything.
