My only aim, and it's not an agenda, on this and similar threads is two fold:
1) That people should understand what they want to achieve and part of that is understanding the retail platforms if they are distributing / publishing.
2) That people should use the best tools for the job. Their own background might make a once good tool that's now stupid be best, like G. R. R. Martin allegedly using Wordstar.
I have no agenda against epub 3, or javascript, or javascript + epub3 (though some have an agenda to push it simple because it's newer and more flexible), or Fixed layout (sometimes it's the best solution). Just because something exists and is a newer spec doesn't make it the best tool.
I have a broad experience and viewpoint, not a narrow blinkered agenda.
The best help is to help people see what they want to achieve and the consequences of their choice of tools.
People can easily ignore my advice, which is based on experience and qualifications, not an agenda.
