That fact that the EPUB spec ALLOWS such things--coupled with the fact the people have expressed an interest in wanting to DO such things--should be reason enough for anyone that the actions remain independent of each other.
Add to that the fact that they're just not the same things. I don't know how much simpler I can put it. One can exist without the other in a validating epub. Knowing that, I should think the ability to be able to mark them independently would appeal to common sense.

I don't care whether the EPUB specs allows it or not. This is not an argument to do things, just because they are permitted.
This is all that I could understand from your statements, sorry.
I understand also that
you think you're clear, because you know more than you said - why would one have an image marked as cover yet another file x/htm/l marked as well?
For instance, my Sony does not recognize images as covers, even if marked as such, a text file however yes. Neither the Trekstor. So marking an image as cover does not solve the problem of displaying it as cover in all cases. Therefore the ability to mark a text document as a cover is not only handy but also required.
