Why do that now with a book that may never be put to paper? Instead, use
sequential numbering starting with the Title page as 1. To preserve the
style of front matter, perhaps use roman numerals, but then allow the
first page of text to be something other than 1.
Would readers care? Would someone else be upset?
I don't know what readers would notice. I still use roman numerals
for front matter because I like following traditions when it's not
a lot of extra work for me to do so. It feels good to me when the
manuals I write seem like "real" books, even if they're not printed
any more. With PageLabeler, it's not much overhead to keep the
traditional scheme, so I see no need to abandon it.
