Re:  Add id to next element
Thank you for the solution! I see that I was looking the wrong way.
Instead of looking forward from <target> to <section>, I should have
looked backward at <target> from <section>.  I have modified your code
to suit the actual XML I am transforming, and it works perfectly.

Regards,
Raghavendra.
