That gives me an excuse to ask a question that has long puzzled me. In Sigil, when I insert a cover, this is the code that Sigil generates:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 800 1169" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><image height="1169" width="800" xlink:href="../Images/myimage.jpg"/></svg>

Why use both a relative and an absolute dimension? If the absolute dimensions (1169x800) are merely informative, why use them at all?
