This is very similar to the other post about grouping today, you want
the identity transform with the following two templates:

<xsl:template match="section">
  <section>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
  </section>  
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="title">
  <sub-section>
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    <xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::para[
                        generate-id(preceding-sibling::title[1]) 
                        = generate-id(current())]"/>
  </sub-section>
</xsl:template>
