Agreed on FB2 and IMP; FB2 devices have something else, and IMP is easily converted to (I didn't know "from mobi is best", but I figured it was easy enough.)
PalmDOC is different from eReader--there are devices and apps that'll read PalmDOC but not eReader files, just like there are devices that will read TXT but not Word DOC files. Converting to PalmDOC is much like converting to TXT; it's a simple process, but you need to start with clean originals, or else you get a lot of junk involved. Editing PalmDOC is not as easy as editing TXT, mostly because the software to do so doesn't come standard on every computer. (Also, like text, I don't think it's DRM-able.)
I agree that they're not necessary for a basic standard range of ebook formats, but if someone were looking to offer the complete list, it'd include these three. Not having to convert to the format of your choice is nice.
