I'm not saying EPUB3 is something everyone should switch to, but in my experience, not needing multimedia is actually a reason to consider using EPUB3 rather than a reason against it. A basic xhtml epub3 is compatible with RMSDK, Amazon, and iBooks.
A big chunk of the commercial epubs I buy/read these days are ADE-encrypted EPUB3s. *shrug*

You are, of course, right. I am apparently turning into Jon.
On a less frivolous note, yes, that's most likely right. I suspect that I'm developing a kneejerk reaction to the mere sight of an ePUB3. We seem to be receiving these in ever-growing numbers (usually made with iAuthor), and asked to "fix it" (with the audio, video, animations, etc., naturally) so it will work in the rest of the eBook-verse. Thus, I'm having the
Niagara Falls response.
Mea culpa.
