Re: EPUB 3.1 title and subtitle of a work, multiple roles of creators and contributors

Hello Olaf,

The only way I found is through a 3.1 meta element. I found it
rather suboptimal since dealing with titles and subtitles now
relies on two different element types (from a DOM perspective).

Right. I have no answer at all here.

As far as I can tell from the spec, that's correct and I think you're
raising a very valid concern and potentially valid issue on the spec.

Section 3.4.2 of Packages 3.1 reads, in the opf-role definition:

  the value must be a three-letter lowercase code

Maybe this needs to be changed to a comma-separated list of three-
letter lowercase codes and it's probably urgent. Do you want to file the
issue at

?
