Exactly. People seem to think that the best rendering you can get out of an epub is what a browser would display for the XHTML. That's nonsense.

Prince XML is the perfect example. It accepts HTML and outputs PDF and near-LaTeX quality (I said near). So one can obviously make a good quality HTML renderer. There's no reason why something like Prince XML cannot be the backend processor that generates frames for the device's framebuffer.
