The only reference I am aware of is
teleread: SCOOP! eReader format licensed to Lexcycle, eReader coming to new platforms, and more! which says (based on an e-mail exchange with Steve Pendergrast, co-owner of FictionWise):
Quote:
ePub for eReader
The current form of eReader markup is a sort of pseudo-HTML that uses backslashes instead of brackets. With minor updates, it dates all the way back to 1998. Although it still looks good in the reader, it is very much a legacy platform.
But that may soon change. Steve mentioned that Fictionwise plans to update the eReader applications to handle ePub books wrapped in eReader DRM, with a completion goal of sometime in 2009. He was hesitant to name a timeframe any more specific than that, because nine separate platforms’ clients will have to be updated to handle the new format, and a snag in any one of them could delay the release for all.

I don't think there is any doubt that this is FictionWise's plan, but the above certainly isn't a press release.
