a) The wx:sect elements are used to separate physical sections in the document, eg. changing the number of columns or changing the page orientation. They are not helpful (in fact, they're disruptive) when trying to build the logical structure of the document,
b) the wx:sub-section elements are unreliable. It seems that Word tries to guess where the logical sections start and often gets it wrong.
For reliability I do two things: (i) flatten the structure, eliminating all wx:sect and wx:sub-section elements and (ii) group sections based on the styles of the paragraphs. Of course, this relies on the author using styles correctly (an authoring problem, rather than a technical problem).
Cheers, Steve Ball

Are you getting the WordML document from Word or from some other process? If someone is saving Word documents as WordML that you must then process, you should be getting wx:sect and wx:sub-section elements, which you can use for grouping. The wx:sect and wx:sub-section elements enable grouping because Word inserts them at each level of heading (rather than with each and every heading), something like this:
<wx:sect> <wx:sub-section> <w:p> <w:pPr> <w:pStyle w:val="Heading1"/> </w:pPr> <!-- more elements here --> </w:p> <w:p> <w:pPr> <w:pStyle w:val="Heading1"/> </w:pPr> <!-- more elements here --> </w:p> <wx:sub-section> <w:p> <w:pPr> <w:pStyle w:val="Heading2"/> </w:pPr> <!-- more elements here --> </w:p> <w:p> <w:pPr> <w:pStyle w:val="Heading2"/> </w:pPr> <!-- more elements here --> </w:p> </wx:sub-section> </wx:sub-section> </wx:sect>
So, assuming that you are getting the wx:sub-section elements, you can use them to identify the groups of headings (and other paragraphs that go with the headings, of course).
If you are not getting the wx:sub-section elements, then you have a fairly normal grouping problem, to which you can find solutions in Dave Pawson's FAQ and Jeni Tennison's web site.

Subject Re: [xsl] wordml to docbook
Your input format has something like this (simplified)
<p style="level1"> blah </p> <p style="level2"> blah </p>
correct?yes you are right! i can transform all the elements inside of <p>...</p> and i can create the sect1 but my problem is now, if style="level1" i create <sect1> and all elemets which are inside of this <p>-tag shoud be inside.When the style"level2" comes i want to open a <sect2> inside of <sect1> and all elements of this <p>-tag with level2 should be inside and so one...and this opening of <sect2> without closing <sect1> is my problem!
i don4t know where of my templates i have to step in that the rest of the element of a certain level of <p> gets inside!?
i want this: <sect1> <title>1</title> blabla <sect2> <title>2</title> blabla <sect3> <title>3</title> blabla </sect3> </sect2> </sect1> <sect1> <title>1</title> blabla </sect1>
