There should be no difference between a cover image and any other image in an epub. Any such difference would be arbitrary and artificial. Reading systems are not required to use the guide element, and even if they were, ebook authors are not required to specify a cover page.

Yes but users like to change the covers of ebooks. To me, what users actually want is far more important than what the EPUB spec says they should want.
If the user just imports an image file at the beginning of the document and doesn't specify that it's a cover, that's the users problem. But Sigil should at least present the possibility for a user to do it the right way.
At the very least Sigil should not strip out existing guide elements, unless the file it points to is removed.
