Without seeing the DTD, we can't answer this.
When you say "merge", do you mean merge right down to data content 
level,
so that the result says:

><root>
>   <section1>
>     <elem>
>       <name>13</name>
>       nested data for elem "1" + nested data for elem "3"
>     </elem>

or do you mean stopping short of the elements containing text, eg

><root>
>   <section1>
>     <elem>
>       <name>1</name>
>       <name>3</name>
>       nested data for elem "1"
>       nested data for elem "3"
>     </elem>

or do you mean interwoven, eg

><root>
>   <section1>
>     <elem>
>       <name>1</name>
>       nested data for elem "1"
>       <name>3</name>
>       nested data for elem "3"
>     </elem>

or what, exactly? "Merge" can mean a dozen different things.
