I hope that the folks at IDPF are working on some type of dictionary format for epub. I commented last year over on Teleread that I thought dictionary support was something that was badly needed in epub.
I don't think the MSReader tags should be adopted, but you do have a good point. I'm now leaning towards recommending the adoption of XFXD tags as an extension to Epub. What does everyone think?
