  No simple answers, but a smallish comment: if you're going to use
  roman-numeral-numbered frontmatter, I believe that the numbering properly
  includes *all* of the pages of the frontmatter.  And so if you have a title
  page, the ToC will be (ii) or (iii) depending on whether you're doing one- or
  two-sided.
