Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to implement it, but might need until

- I've added some keys to \setupexport:
author
title
subtitle
firstpage (also new key in mult)
lastpage (aso new key in mult)
- The title, subtitle and author inherit from \setupinteraction which already
inherits from \setupdocument (metadata namespace).
- In mtx-epub these variables are picked up (from the epub job specification)
and firstpage / lastpage are added to the images list.
Nothing has been checked and the firstpage/lastpage image names have to be
pushed into some epub metadata blob I guess but that's for you to figure out in
mtx-epub. It's probably best to assume that the images are present and suitable
for epub.
I took the new keys and added the cover (page) generator to mtx-epub.lua. The
name is hard coded (cover.xhtml), so if a user decides on naming the original
file cover.tex...
The validator likes it, next is the hard part: generating a valid xhtml. Is the
xhtml generator only for the epub, i.e. can it be changed or is another output
file just for the epub appropriate?
the only issue is that css has no method for mapping a link which is why
the exporter produces two files (xml and xhtml)
Calibre is already happy with it and shows it just fine. Please note that some
ebook readers (e.g. apple devices, calibre) have a nasty caching mechanism. If
you want to see the new changes, I found that it is best to delete the old book
before replacing it.

xmlns + doctype is probably a bit over the top for the coverpage
P.S. I have no clue, why 'images[firstpage] = firstpage' works. I would expect
'images[#images+1] = firstpage'
it's a hash mapping names onto real names (as we can have converted images)
