Hi, Paul and Robert:
Point well taken about <appendix> after <part> and now that you mention it, I think I recall some inquiries on the DITA user's group about bookmap from people who were creating parts and had trouble finding <appendix>.
Perhaps the designer of the original bookmap was working either from eccentric models or with insufficient coffee....
Thanks,
Erik Hennum
