Really great discussion... thanks, everybody!

Where I'm thinking this could possibly lead is not to one, but to several standards. We already have something similar within Email clients, where you frequently are provided with a choice of plain text or rich text or html. All are standards, all are embedded within a single client.

The Ebook client software of the future could very well end up supporting several standards within a single client. Text only for dinosaurs (such as myself) and richer, more interactive reading experiences for Gen X or Y or Z or... you get the idea. I bet the market leads it there eventually.

The possibilities are really cool, if you ask me!
