AIUI, you must use either <section> or <sectn> (where 'n' is a number),
but you cannot mix them.  You can next <section> inside <section>
indefinitely (no limit).  <sect1...5> only goes 5 levels deep, which is
sometimes a nice limit to have; otherwise nesting gets out of hand.

All of this is explained at:

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/section.html

There is a complete list of all elements at the top-level for Norm
Walsh's book, http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html.  You can
use the parent/child relationship of elements to learn more about the
error messages you had.
