SVG Cover thumbnail on iBook

Hi all, I'm a developer working with XSD, XML, XSLT documents.

We have a lot (huge?) of documents both in XML and XHTML format. The problem is that we would like to convert them to ePub too.

I developed a XSLT thati is able to create all the required files. The problem arise with covers.

I drawn a SVG vector image as template and, via XSLT, I can change the title accordingly with the document being processed.

It seems all Ok. Works fine on several readers (ADE, Android device, Firefox plugin).

On the iPad the SVG cover is shown right when I open the document. Unfortunately no way for the bookshelf thumbnail: the iBook/iPad default thumbnail is shown.

I've "travel" widely in the forum. Some people stated that iPad/iBook support the SVG both in the document and as thumbnail.

I think I'm missing something... can someone suggest a starting point?
