Hi, Actually, you shouldn't need to rearrange anything. Although the default title page code does not pass through mediaobject by default, you can get the result you want through a title page customization.
I suggest you take a look at the description of titlepage setup in Bob Stayton's book, DocBook XSL, which is available online. Here is the section: http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html Title page customization is flexible, but it will probably take some experimentation to get the exact result you want.
