Wow--six nested levels of sections? That's a whole lot of hierarchy--but
if you don't want to flatten it out, instead of using <sect1>, <sect2>,
<sect3> you should just be able to use nested <section> elements; here's
what Norm says in DocBook: TDG (experimental V2.0.1):
Recursive Sections [...] are an alternative to the numbered sections and have unbounded
depth.
Another alternative would be to use a <formalpara> element (within which
you can include a <title> element).

I don't see how this can be done without extending the DTD.
I found an article on XML.com that discusses customizing the
DoocBook DTD -
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/10/docbook/index.html
Page 3 of the article actually contains a section entitled
"Adding Elements: Adding a Sect6" -
