[jats-list] A question on <related-object>

I have noticed that some "best practice" comments added on BITS documentation stipulate that the @document-id must always be present, even if the related object may be an entire book and not a specific chapter within the book, or a specific figure within that chapter. In fact, the comments state that "If the source and document are the same, the @source-id attribute should be empty". Is this indeed the idea?

What adds to the confusion is that the provided example under <related-object> element encodes a related book, which only includes a @source-id and no @document-id.

So, who's right here, the best practice advice or the example?

Thank you.
