I'm not sure I understand this. If DocBook is expressed as a DTD, you 
can create a document with any element type as the root element type, 
because there is no way in a DTD to say what must or must not be the 
root element type except for the one implied by an element type that 
does not appear in any content model.

If I create document fragments as single paragraphs in multiple separate 
files, all declared as DOCTYPE para, they are still DocBook, just 
starting lower down than is conventional.

Or have I missed something?
