This discussion comes up again and again. I'm in favour for expanding,
mainly for the reason that =E2=80=93 unlike what lixobix seems to assume =
=E2=80=93 what's
written on covers is far from being Artist Intent, but is mainly
graphicist's choice or cover art designer's will. To invoke Artist Intent
you should not argue with covers. There should be better evidence than
covers (like the artist himself stating that he insisted against the
graphicist to use "Vol." instead of "volume" for artistic reasons) to claim
exceptions from a rule that makes sense IMO
