We should blame both, IDPF for making some doubtful decisions when developing the ePub-standard and Adobe for delivering only a incomplete (and partially incompatible) implementation of that standard.

- Agreed.
- If they would do, they would side with the Pro-DRM-faction. This might be just too "politically charged" for them.
- They did indeed, but made some doubtful decisions (eg. to include SVG support)
- What did you mean with "certifiable"? That ePub should become a certified standard according to another international organization for standardization (ISO, IETF, ..) or do you mean that IDPF should launch a public certification process?
