The correct way to markup a title in a section is simply:

<div type="section">
<title>.....</title>
</div>

We got rid of most of the typing requirements for titles long ago since 
it was very, very redundant. Instead, when interpreting a <title>, you 
simply look to its parent to identify its type.

I don't know of any differentiation that Sword makes among different 
title types.

Talk to Troy about "subtype" and "x-preverse". The former is just wrong. 
The latter is a hack. It was fixed (from the module side) and then 
unfixed (probably to remain broken in perpetuity in all of these 
commercial texts) until some unknown future date.
