EPUB's cover.xhtml body should have id="cover"

[elmimmo]

The body element of the document cover.xhtml should have a unique attribute like id="cover" in order to be able to create a CSS style that targets it only.

One will most probably always want to reduce default page margins to zero for that document only, in order for ereaders to display that illustration from edge to edge of the screen (or at the very least as large as each ereader allows), or apply Adobe Digital Editions-only CSS oeb-column-number: 1 so that the cover is always displayed centered even when the ereader defaults to displaying facing pages.

Currently, the sole child of cover.xhtml's body element does have a distinctive attribute (<div id="cover-image">) but that does not help in being able to reduce its parent's default margins, which will pretty much always be non-zero.

My request was not about adding it to the title page (i.e. title_page.xhtml), but to the cover page (i.e. cover.xhtml), which is where the cover-image goes, and therefore where one would want pretty much always to reduce body margins to zero.

Sorry! Better now?
