I would dump all of the mutli-media and I would look at what else everything Apple managed to get added in and see if it needs to go or be changed.

I would also make ePub3 more simple. I would bring back things changed from ePub2 that did not need to be changed because the changes do the same thing. I would make ePub3 accessible by default without the need for the code. I would simplify it. It's a bit (IMHO) more complicated then it need to be.
