Does it work for folks if this returns either a cover OR a blank? (1x1 
jpg). It may be awkward to test first for an actual cover. Also, if it's 
ok to not test for a cover, does anyone have a preference over the blank 
or a 404 error? I think the API can do both.

BTW, basic author RDF is coded and in beta. I'll announce when it goes 
on the public site.
