Yes, yes, YES! I've said it 1000 times -- the front matter is a one-off section that does not need consistency enforced by styles. The front matter is more like a poster than like a book, and hence I always create the whole thing with fine-tuned ERT. I've used fine tuning in front matters to do things the document class authors never dreamed of. WYSIWYM is great in mainmatter and backmatter, but IMHO the front matter is best done as WYDIHC (what you do is hard code).
