Well, I agree with that statement about Amazon, but Kobo has not done anything to make it harder for us. As for documentation, making it would make it appear officially supported, which it isn't. The format itself isn't that hard to figure out though. It is basically just some numbered spans around main punctuation, and a few obvious properties in content.opf. Most of my time spend with Kobo stuff is for the patches, but I enjoy doing it (it's also good for practising assembly stuff), and it's useful.
