Special symbols pages and transcriber's notes pages are used
extensively in US textbooks. 

John, I'm on the BANA Formats committee, so  I know you can
expect to see a change
in how the preliminary pages are handled with the next revision
(hopefully early 2011). I
recommend you build flexibility into the volume-creation scheme.

What about a list of special symbols used in a particular volume,
and a transcriber's notes page?
According to BANA, these should precede the table of contents,
but I'm not sure if they are used a lot in practice.
