Sure. Every time the specs permit something not to be implemented, Reading Systems will not have the trouble. See the epub:type feature... Its only implementation is for pop-up footnotes.

I just like to follow the specs, in the hope of future implementation and adoption. Is just like acessibility features: I'll do my best to use correct markup and follow both epub and aria guidelines; but I know much of it is still not used by the mainstream Reading Systems and even screen readers. Well, if they do not implement the specs, there's nothing I can do about it, but I'll keep doing my part.

I know. Also, the recomendation now its not to use or implement 3.1, but jump directly to 3.2 (when finished). So, like you said: very volatile.
