I don't fully understand your question. Perhaps you can be more elaborate? The section you refer to is quite clear, but does have a typo. My bad :) If you read the sentence you can clearly see that the 'nt is missing. Writing 'so...' isn't exactly logical if that wasn't the case.
Sorry dude, I hope the book helped though, it is quite clear on how to form the hierarchy you mention.

Wouter,

Great resource, thanks! I downloaded the samples, but I noticed many are missing. For example, I could not find the sample for the customxml portion of the WordProcessingML section. Any way I can get those missing examples?
