With respect, I think most of your arguments seem to be built around the ability to remove adobe DRM from existing ePub files. The problem is that, 1. That removing DRM is illegal for most of us and 2. suggests a level of computer sophistication that most people don't have.
My main issue is that if we have the same format with multiple DRM schemes, the publishers may just decide to forgo ePub. That would not be good at all. And it would be the fault of Fictionwise.
