well...no. the difference is that i don't want to define a name for each level...there may be many levels. so, i might have 
<section name="top">
  <section name="chap1"/>
  <section name="chap2">
    <section name="sub1"/>
  </section>
  <section name="chap3"/>
  <section name="chap4">
    <section name="sub2">
      <section name="table1"/>
    </section>
  </section>
</section>

my problem is, in the Handlers definition, how keep a relationship between my "current root section" (ie, the one to which i will be adding the next subsection) and the xml level?
