Since you're happy with simplesects, which look like sections except
they don't chunk, I'm guessing that the main thing you want is that each
use case not be on a separate chunk. So if there existed a processing
instruction, <?dbhtml stop-chunking?>, that caused the xsls to stop
chunking from that point on, you could do this:

  <section>
     <?dbhtml stop-chunking?>
     <title>Use cases</title>
     <section><title>Use Case 1: Blah</title>
        <informaltable>...</informaltable>
     </section>
     ....
     <section><title>Create Zone</title>
       <section><title>Use Case 5.1: Create Small Zone</title>
       ...
       </section>
       <section><title>Use Case 5.2: Create Big Zone</title>
       ...
       </section>
     </section>
     <section><title>Use Case 6: Another simple one</title>
        <informaltable>...</informaltable>
     </section>
     ...
  </section>

This would be better because simplesects not chunking might actually be
a bug and could be fixed later. I've wanted this very feature and have
looked into implementing it. It's doable (only tricky because of the
next and previous links). I do plan to work on it again, but I'm not
sure when I'll have time. I went ahead an opened a feature request with
the notes I made in case someone else wants to do it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1842739&group_i
d=21935&atid=373750

In the mean time, this is a little ugly, but might give you something
that works for now:

  <section><title>Use cases</title>
     <simplesect><title>Use Case 1: Blah</title>
        <informaltable>...</informaltable>
     </simplesect>
     ....
     <simplesect><title>Create Zone</title>
       <example><title>Use Case 5.1: Create Small Zone</title>
       ...
       </example>
       <example><title>Use Case 5.2: Create Big Zone</title>
       ...
       </example>
     </simplesect>
     <simplesect><title>Use Case 6: Another simple one</title>
        <informaltable>...</informaltable>
     </simplesect>
     ...
  </section>
