Proposal for "cover"

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

In response to RFE 1416903[1], the TC agreed to add a "cover" element
to "info". The purpose of "cover" is to contain the front and back
cover copy of a book. The element is designed to be general enough to
support any possible combination of front, inside-front, inside-back,
back, dust jacket, dust jacket foldovers, spine, etc.

Accordingly, the processing expectations of "cover" will be fairly
loose.

I propose the following content model for cover:

   db.para.blocks
 | db.extension.blocks
 | db.list.blocks
 | db.informal.blocks
 | db.publishing.blocks
 | db.graphic.blocks
 | db.technical.blocks
 | db.verbatim.blocks
 | db.bridgehead
 | db.synopsis.blocks
 | db.remark
 | db.revhistory

That's intended to be db.all.blocks+ (i.e., the content model of
sidebar[2]) except for db.admonition.blocks, db.formal.blocks, and
db.indexterm. None of which belong on a cover, IMHO.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
