[docbook] Position of simplesects


I do not understand the following:

It is valid DocBook to use a simplesect like this:

<sect2>
  <title>...</title>
  <sect3>...</sect3>
  <simplesect>...</simplesect>
</sect2>

but NOT, when the sect2 starts with introductory <para>s

<sect2>
  <title>...</title>
  <para>bla bla bla</para>
  <sect3>...</sect3>
  <simplesect>...</simplesect>
</sect2>

At least I get a validation error when I validate the 2nd example.
Is this a bug or a feature? I can't figure out the precise rules where exactly I can use a simplesect.
