Perhaps you are trying to change the playing field?
As for displaying a line of text to make it a single line regardless of screen width/font size? Have you ever looked at a fixed layout epub3? That will do exactly what you seem to want. Of course, about as useless as a PDF when reading on smaller displays though like PDF, they can have real page numbers. I have several ePub3 FLOs. One textbook works but was totally useless when a line of text that was barely readable on an iPad in landscape mode was displayed on an iPhone SE in portrait mode. Flyspeck 4 is not my favoured font size.
As I mentioned earlier, ePub4 is supposedly going to be fully compliant with Web Publications (if and when Web Publications stops being a moving target) but how long before any devices implement it?
