So ebook devs have learned to target the lowest common denominator instead of the epub3 standard meaning most of its "features" go unused.

No, you can not have remote text, for example, only audio, video and font resources. And no, you can not change the DOM with javascript, if you want to follow the idpf specification ("A container-constrained script MUST NOT contain instructions for modifying the DOM of the parent Content Document or other contents in the EPUB Publication, and MUST NOT contain instructions for manipulating the size of its containing rectangle").
