i have no craving for confusion.
I thought you were proposing to introduce yet-another PG boutique file format -- which exactly 0% of the user devices will display. Why do people buy EPUB devices? Because it works for them. Could PG files easily work better with EPUB devices? Yes. Why do people buy MOBI devices? Because it works for them. Could PG files easily work better with MOBI devices? Yes. Why do some of us put up with these difficulties? Because we are actually interested in creating books that people will actually put on their devices and actually read. If people buy EPUB devices, that's where I want to be. If people buy Kindle devices, that's where I want to be. If people buy iPads (and actually read with them as opposed to just playing Pictionary) then that's where I want to be. And frankly the "diseases" are not as bad as some of the proposed "cures." Are people buying reader devices designed to display txt70 ? No. Are people buying reader devices designed to display ZML ? No. Why not? They don't like those file formats and their limitations. When you convince Sony, Apple, Amazon, B&N, Blackberry etc. to support ZML *then* come talk.
