You sure about that?  How do you know if it's the last one in its 
section?  What do you do then for the next?  Or what if it's the first (for 
prev)?

If this section has an 'id' attribute (which is obviously not an ID 
attribute), perhaps the next and previous sections have 'id' attributes, 
too, and using their values would work better than just doing the calculation.
