Where EPUB is concerned, I’m personally far more interested in the approach where there is no packaging (aka EPUB Zero).
Replying to @rgaiacs
The spec is not complete for those parts, but basically the format can be used as a manifest for a complete research bundle.
Replying to @rgaiacs
So, essentially, this is a candidate EPUB Zero format, at least for scholarly articles.
