My point still stands. Read it carefully. You're confusing possibilities with actualities. KF8 ACTUALLY supports more EPUB3 features (in mainstream readers/apps) than mainstream EPUB readers/apps currently do.

I'm not talking about what the EPUB3 spec CAN do (of course it has advantages over KF8). I'm talking about support for advanced EPUB3 features in mainstream reading devices/apps.
iBooks, ADE, Readium... and the support is increasing. I know it is not enough, but it is the road for digital publishing. And the IDPF and W3C merging is going in this direction, IMHO. ePub2 and KF8 are dead horses, in long term view. I still build ePub2 and KF8, but there is no light there. They are good only for digitalised paper-book (and not so good).
