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...

Amazon was not stupid enough to claim that AZW is Mobipocket even though under the DRM, it is Mobipocket. B&N could have done the same thing and changed the file extention to something else to let people know that it's not the same DRMed ePub as before.
