For me, if content were allowed after a section, it's hard to imagine
how you would render it in a way that made it clear which section it
belongs to. What you have may be a <sidebar>. Worst case you could use
<bridgehead>s to match the "structure" of the legacy content.

According to the schema, you can have a para before the first
section, but once you start using sections, you cannot have a para
outside of some other structure (section, etc.).
I believe that is intentional and has been that way for a while.

Subject: [docbook-apps] para-section-para
While preparing an article in the following format I
receive a not allowed instruction.
Editor: Oxygen 10.3
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
version="5.0">
<section>
<para>text</para>
<section>
<para>text</para>
</section>
<para>text</para> (This paragraph shows as not
allowed. Why?)
</section>
</article>
Exports to the browser fine.
Must I follow a <section> with a <section>, that works,
but this would break up the flow of the document, which is an old
report.
Or is this a bug?
