Where are tagged name, surname and any uids?

<meta refines="#creator" property="role" scheme="marc:relators" id="role">aut</meta>

Where are roles for cover artists, lyrics writers and translators? Why the 'author' is applied to the entire file and not to logical sections therein? If there is preface written by Mr. X, how that metadata scheme is going to represent it?
<meta name="dc_proposed:translator" content="Translator Name">

What the hell is 'novel'? It is not a genre. It is a form factor.

If you cannot see that EPUB scheme is defective, I don't know what to say.

Well, clearly the person who tagged that was an idiot. I am not sure why you think that is a flaw in EPUB, rather than a problem with a publisher on crack.
