Apple don't allow the SVG wrapper for internal images, but I cannot recall if that mandate also applies to the cover. Does anyone know?
Also, the SVG wrapper of my past included a max-height and max-width to prevent upsizing of small images on larger screens. Sigil's SVG wrapper specifies the height and width but does not use the prefix "max". Does that change the behaviour on screens that exceed the pixel count of the image?

I don't care because Apple is a small fish in the ebooks market and I refuse to make special iPUB's just for them. The code for the SVG wrappers falls perfectly in the specs and iBooks should honor it if they claim to support ePUB.
I really don't like Apple ignoring the standards for no good reason at all, just because they are Apple.
The wrapper Sigil uses is in use for many years now and works fine for both larger and smaller screens. It will autofit the cover to the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio.
