It would have been so simple to just specify an element in the guide that could point to either the first item in the spine or to a rasterized image in the manifest, so people would not have to play all these tricks to try to get a full screen cover, and instead leave it to the rendering software to do the best it can, after all the rendering software knows much more about the target device geometry than the ebook author.
