I took the new keys and added the cover (page) generator to mtx-epub.lua. The 
name is hard coded (cover.xhtml), so if a user decides on naming the original 
file cover.tex... 

The validator likes it, next is the hard part: generating a valid xhtml. Is the 
xhtml generator only for the epub, i.e. can it be changed or is another output 
file just for the epub appropriate?

Calibre is already happy with it and shows it just fine. Please note that some 
ebook readers (e.g. apple devices, calibre) have a nasty caching mechanism. If 
you want to see the new changes, I found that it is best to delete the old book 
before replacing it.

P.S. I have no clue, why 'images[firstpage] = firstpage' works. I would expect 
'images[#images+1] = firstpage'
