I don't see this as being a publisher problem so much as one of getting the rendering engine right. Allow the end-user to over-ride the publisher's formatting choices and the problem goes away and publishers can still do nifty tricks if they want to.

I don't know if this is possible with the Adobe rendering code everyone seems to be using (surely the API allows the passing-in of a custom stylesheet?) so I can't say if this is something for Adobe to do or something for (lazy?) ereader vendors to fix. Either way it's annoying enough that I'm abandoning ePub for Mobipocket until it's sorted.
