Yes it was. This very situation is a result of the EPUB spec being written specifically to support multiple DRM systems on top of the format. All B&N has done is follow the spec and released compliant EPUB files. In regard to them not using a different file extension, it is still an EPUB file.
I find it hard to believe that this situation was not foreseen. A format that can have almost any number of DRM formats attached to it, still being compliant, and allowing it to continue to be called EPUB...
