This looks good, but I have a couple suggestions. First, I'd get rid of the
"number" attribute. Let the compilation process take care of that. If you need
inter-section references, use another XML tag keyed to the "id" attribute. That
way it would be easy to reshuffle information, and all inter-section references
would automatically point to their proper locations.

Also, XML allows nesting of tags, so it should be easy to create a tree
structure, with something like

<section
   attributes
>

  <section

  </section>

  <section
     attributes
  >
  </section>

</section>

etc.

Hope this helps,
Zack
