> 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.

In a typeset toc it's often quite clear as visual clues are used 
(indentation, font, vertical spacing, either of not a pagenumber)

I have made some quite complex structured docs (tens of different heads 
at the same level). This goes ok as long as one is in control, but in 
automated flows with input that can have some components not being 
present and then also typeset one can have interesting confusing 
situations. In such cases fonts/spacing in a toc depend on an analysis 
of the structure (runtime).
