Most of the typographical features are up to the rendering software, not to the ebook itself. Your despising of reflowable formats is starting to look like despising PDF because it doesn't look fine when printed by dot-matrix printers in continuous paper.

You are right in that the current available rendering software is lacking on the typographic front, but again, that's not the ebooks' fault. There's no a priori reason why more advanced typographic features (to the extent they are automatable) can't be implemented in future software.
