Hi Dale,

Almost correct. As we're using an aggregator to offer books to the iBookstore, it would now appear that the aggregator people are adding this metadata.xml file to the package, based on publishers' manually entered metadata information. This seems superfluous, as any ebook designer worth his salt would just use the metadata section in the opf file for this purpose, but that is how it is done.

It now seems that something went awry in this process of the aggregator's adding the metadata.xml file to the package. At least that is our current working hypothesis.

Thanks for your help!
