If your toplevel element is <book>, then it contains chapters, and the
chapters contain sect1's
If your toplevel element is <article>, then it contains sect1
directly.
That's enforced by the DND. No more complicated than that.
They are definitely _not_ the same, but perhaps might be treated
similarly in the HTML - probably each should get a new HTML page, and
maybe each should have an entry in the TOC.
Norman Walsh's book (online at docbook.org even), is good for
answering this sort of question.
