I'm rather unfamiliar with the history of EPS, but its success seems to have been predicated on the preexisting willingness of a majority of mobile phone manufacturers to adopt it. On the other hand, as far as I'm aware, no major browser supplier currently supports publishing or implementing DOM 4.1, thus providing no pressure on the other browser developers to do so. The EU standards bodies' opinion regarding the authoritative standard seems somewhat irrelevant given this situation - attempted enforcement of a DOM implementation with such little support via legislative means is unlikely and infeasible.
