I've always thought that basic HTML would work very nicely as an ebook format, and would provide all of the formatting needed for most ebooks. Its only weaknesses are the mandated blank line after every paragraph (although CSS is supposed to deal with that), and the reduction of multiple consecutive blank spaces to a single space.
One development I've disliked about CSS is the depreciation of some very useful HTML tags to discourage their use. Sometimes a simple tag is the best way to achieve a desired effect (for example, I prefer the simplicity of the CENTER tag, rather than having to modify a paragraph style to center text).
