I looked in the docs, but there is no explicit discussion on setting up 
parts formatting, and it's not intuitively obvious (at least to me) how 
to apply the procedures for, say, sections (which are formatted by 
default) to those for parts (which are not).

Yes :-)

The doc I am working on is a two-part book proposal.  The first part is 
the proposal proper, while the second part is a sample chapter from the 
book.  In other words, the first part has no chapter, while the second 
part does.

If I use your code, here is what I get:

For part 1, I get "Part 1..." at the top of the page, and text 
(beginning with the first section) begins right after it.
For part 2, I get (as I was looking for) "Part 2..." on a separate 
page, plus a blank page that follows, and then the sample chapter.

Just so I understand this, is this explained by some interaction 
between the chapter setup commands, and the parts?

Thank you!
