Pointing out, that EPUB is not robust enough for what is perhaps the most widely read publication format today, is a straw-man argument?!
The market is already littered with often incompatible formats, which can render and reflow plain text, on small screens. The mobile version of PDF can do it too.
Given the above, I am simply asking, if EPUB is not suitable for complex layouts, which can easily be done in PDF format, what exactly is the purpose of EPUB (other than to counteract mobi/azw, and to further fragment the market?)
