My reading of the OEBF documentation is that it's a publisher to
publisher standard. It doesn't seem to be a standard for the supply of
texts to the public, but rather allows publsihers to exchange
metadata-rich manuscripts before locking into a proprietary e-book
format for public sales.
All this rather depresses me, but working in publi$hing, doesn't
surprise me.
