This is assuming <chapter> includes <topic>. I'm undecided whether this should be allowed or not. From a purist point of view, the help-set or whatever "root" help set element should contain <topic>s, but not other elements. In other words, you can either create a help set or a book/article. Our online documentation contains old-fashioned books as well as online help, and having <help-set> (or whatever it ends up being called) as a sibling of <book> and <article> would allow xrefs between the online help and the books.
