Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Book-writing with Writer

It is an ISO standard (or at least in the way to be): 
http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=53255


Also, there's some useful information on Wikipedia. I didn't went to it thoroughly, though:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB

Maybe Urmas confused EPUB with the Digital Rights Management system (DRM) which is basically 
proprietary anticopy software, and is supported by EPUB (as a way to avoid piracy and, I guess, to 
control the market of books). But EPUB is open source, standardized and is the format used by most 
e-readers (by all, I will say, with the exception of Kindle, which of course has a proprietary file 
format). And there's no need to use DMR on it.

Hi :)
Does that mean it is an ISO standard?  It's a bit unclear who international Digital Publishing 
Forum are.  Are they widely known and accepted or are they just a branch of Adobe or Apple or 
someone?  
Regards from 
Tom :)
