	Try using the "section" tag instead of "sect1". Here's how I would
do it...

<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">
<book>
  <title>Whatever</title>

  <chapter>
    <title>Section 1</title>  

    <section>
      <title>Section 1.1</title>  
      <para>To be written.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Section 1.2</title>  
      <para>To be written.</para>
    </section>
  </chapter>
</book>
