Not at all. The same ddoc sources are used to generate an ebook and a

It works, it is not a failure because the source files do not need to be
modified to get this working. A failure would be having to modify the
source files each time a different output needs to be generated.
Ok, I would not consider it a failure if it needs to be converted to a
different format. But adding cross referencing, generating an index or
similar would still be a failure, if that requires post processing.
We all of course want that - but there is certainly room for
disagreement about what "best" is.
Yes, but who would not want cross referencing to work properly?
Reinventing Amazon's "kindlegen.exe" seems pointless to me.
Yes, I agree.
