a nice example is sectioning:

you can map 'somedocbooksection' onto 'section', but better is to do something

   \definesection[dbksection][section]

and map 'somedocbooksection' onto 'dkbsection'

the advantage is that one can promote dbksection to chapter of degrade it 
to subsubsubsection, which is handy if you combine multiple docbooks into one.
