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...
Maybe the plan is to cause much confusion and force people to stop using DRM? I also cannot understand how they could write the standard this way.
