Like the language idea. I'll add it. The rights idea -- I have a "copyrightholder" tag already, I could simply use "public domain" as its value.

There should also be a unique identifier, ISBN or equivalent. id="xxxxx".
Both "ISBN" and "fileid" are already in the proposal.

A personal favorite of mine is the description. This is a short description of the eBook. It is often used by dealer to describe the book and can be viewed in some reader programs before opening the book.
Another good idea. It's in!
