The standard allows for DRM but the DRM is Adobes that is NOT a standard people.

And for those saying its no more confusing then different formats have you and all your friends been using a Mac for the last 10 years? Everyone I know (even ones that don't understand differing DRM schemes) at least know that a file ending in .epub will not work with the same stuff as a .lrx.
This was already true. DRM <> EPUB. There are non-DRM epub and DRM-epubs already with the same file extension and no way to tell if it is drm'd or not.
