Thanks, Erik.
I guess I don’t understand that
difference between specifying an element for generating a cover or preface v. a
preface, which the bookmap specification does provide.
Thanks, A

Salutations, Amber:
I think the expectation is that the book information provides everything needed
to generate cover and title pages and that, like all presentation, the
specification of the layout of the cover pages should be separate from the
content of the book.
A question is whether there might be easy ways for adopters to define that
layout -- but that question could be investigated separately without slowing
down the completion of bookmap.
Hoping that's interesting,

[dita] bookmap
specialization question

Hi there,
In reviewing the bookmap
specialization, I realized that it contains elements for many of the common
pieces of a book, but is missing elements for cover and title page. Is there a
reason for this? I expected there to be elements so that you can specify a <topicref>
for these items. Is it too late to add them?
Thanks, A
