Commendable effort of trying to get rid of the ancient paper-based legacy in the digital world that is PDF
Though I'm curious whether the clunky old-but-still-living HTML (especially in its ugly XML variety) + CSS are the right foundations for the portable format of the future? Since the author has also developed the whole new document language would be nice to read a more in-depth overview on that subject. Or why limit to the ugly duckling of JS in the future when WASM exists?

that's indeed the proper and more precise approach, though we could still have those "fixed layout epub" pages as a backup coordinate system
