As far as I recall, the specification says the mimetype file must be in the root directory of the epub file structure and the container.xml file must in a META-INF directory in the root. The rest of the directory structure is found from the content.opf file found at the path in the container.xml file. So no requirement for the OEBPS directory though most publishing software does use it. The epub3 OCF standard does say "It is
recommended that the contents of the EPUB Publication be stored within its own dedicated directory under the container's root." while the epub2 OCF standard said much the same in a wordier fashion.
