Or, I suppose, a transition immediately preceding a section title
could be interpreted as occurring outside of the section it's being
parsed in.  The context would obviate the need for a special
directive.

Worth thinking about.

This is still true.  It doesn't make sense for a transition to begin
or end a container.
