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.

  1. Agreed.
  2. If they would do, they would side with the Pro-DRM-faction. This might be just too "politically charged" for them.
  3. They did indeed, but made some doubtful decisions (eg. to include SVG support)
  4. 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?
