As near as I can tell from the EPUB3 standard, the <item property="cover-image"> in
the manifest must point to a raster or vector image. If you omit the cover-image
item, then could fake a cover by putting a .xhtml page first that shows just the
title. That would come from the book content rather than a mediaobject. The content
could be put into a DB5 cover element, but the EPUB3 stylesheet currently doesn't
support that. Sounds like a feature request. 8^)

Subject: [docbook-apps] Building text title pages for epub3?
Good afternoon:
In Epub 3 I have the following media object inside info to generate a cover.
<mediaobject role="cover">
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="images/image.png" format="png"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Temp Image for the title of my book!</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
Is it possible just to use a text object when creating the page? Would I have to
convert it to an image?
