That touches an interesting question: "Who sets structure?"

Easily I can think you hundreds of books where the author set "Preface", 
"Forword", "List of Abbreviations" and "List of Content" in a subordinate 
style. When the main text starts, this style is the same that is used for the 
second (or third) sectioning level. The same shows up in TOC: if these entries 
are listed in TOC, they are visually structured (by indentation and font) 
explicitly as the second (sometimes third) sectioning level.

As far as I have understood Hans' answer, the logic for bookmarks (or 
structured, tagged PDF in general?) works differently: even though the "design" 
of these sections (ie. section *headings*!) by the author is intended to be 
subordinated, nevertheless these section should be structured in a parent/child 
way: the first section mentioned is meant to be the highest level:

Would this map and represent the structure that the author was thinking of?


(Thank God it is not me who invented the structure of books and thus has to 
bear the blame ... and thank goodness we have Hans who manages to transform 
even the weirdest inputs and specs!)
