Re: [xsl] Add id to next element

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't do it while processing the target element, you do it while
processing the section element

<xsl:template match="section">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:attribute name="id" select="preceding-sibling::target/@refid"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
