Maybee you could consider using section instead of sectn, because : http://norman.walsh.name/2004/01/01/absinthe : " ... DocBook NG has recursive section and refsection elements, but it no longer has sectn or refsectn elements. ... " Or you can use XSLT ... ? But it is not sure that you will get a special function from XXE since sectn should no longer exist.
