That doesn't exist in EPUB either. There is no such tag.

Sure.

My main gripe with EPUB is that it, just like many of its predecessors, tries to provide an universal format - something that would satisfy all possible needs, work on all possible devices etc. In my opinion, that's a sure way to fail - the needs (and the devices) are so variable that one format can't possibly satisfy them all (e.g. with EPUB, we can talk fonts - I can either choose to use device-default fonts or one particular embedded font, but I can't choose to use a device-font on one device AND an embedded-font on another). I am still convinced that the proper way is to provide one "storage format" and then convert it to device-dependent form before use.
