It only appears that way. They still didn't close the loophole in the OCF:
2.2 “Abstract Container” vs. “Physical Container”
No standard physical container is required. They recommend ZIP, but also allow for a "file system container" (translate: companies can follow the standard but still create an eBook that can only be read by their device).
So I see no improvement. All idpf seems to have done is discussed XML (for how long?) and came up with something that is just as proprietary as any other format out there.
