I'm pretty sure that Pepak is aware of that (just search for his contributions regarding ePub in the forum), though does it really matter? Italics doesn't work on the PRS-505 out of the box, you have to embed fonts. How would an average reader do this with his DRMed eBooks?

What about the 300KB hurdle? What about full justification? What about oeb-page-head (and all other oeb-styles as well)? There are so many unimplemented details on the PRS-505...i just can't count all.

Anyway, Sony could release a FW-Update including the current version of Adobe's Mobile Reader SDK (which is a different thing than Adobe DE, DE is just the desktop software). Sony doesn't release such an Update. Neither for the PRS-505 nor PRS-600 or PRS-700. Unsatisfactory. End of the story - well, from the viewpoint of an average reader.
