I tossed this same issue over in my mind for several months before deciding that it would probably be cleaner to make a special style sheet *just for* the title page, that was only used in that one place. Likewise, there could be a special stylesheet for the cover, the copyright page, a colophon page, for a library of congress card suggestion, etc., to be used only if needed. If you make each of the sections (cover, title, copyright, text chapter) separate files in the epub, there's no requirement that the stylesheets don't conflict with each other, since they're used in only one place. The major stylesheet would cover (separately) the traditional headings, chapters, paragraphs, white space of the main part of the book without concern for the head material. Seems like a good division of labor to me.
