The more open system of Adobe Digital Editions—which needs to support EPUB from dozens of sources—should be as compliant as possible to the EPUB, XHTML, and CSS standards. Its failings are part of the reason we have such poor formatting on so many eBooks...they have to format to the lowest common denominator.
The current version of ADE does support ePub 3. The fault does not belong to Adobe but to Kobo for not implementing the latest RMSDK. But then if Kobo did implement the latest RMSDK, they would not have a need for KePub.
