Dwanthny wrote "if the cover is not properly identified" in an epub, it doesn't get updated, and that's the way I express that concept, too, when explaining why a cover isn't always updated during a transfer. Is the "properly identified" phrase a shorthand for the epub treating it as metadata? Or does the epub format entirely lack the concept of cover as metadata?
Fundamentally, I'm asking what it takes to be "properly identified," and whether that identification is part of the epub spec.
