I figured out how to fix this one -- just remove the <sect2> tags, and
add a <title> tag to the <warning> box.  The attached yields the
explanatory text in a separate box that doesn't have the silly
otherwise-empty section title.  We add the 'id' that was in the sect2 to
the warning; with this, at the referencing end the full title is
rendered, which looks quite reasonable.  I have attached screenshots of
both sides of this.

Compare the existing
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/logical-replication-col-lists.html#LOGICAL-REPLICATION-COL-LIST-COMBINING

Unless there are objections, I'll get this pushed to 15 and master.
