Suspect a "section" is simply an ordinal thing e.g. when navigating
headers by number you can only skip to headers at the same or sub
levels, not those at a higher order than that which you are already at.

Sure - this is a badly structured page, and I'm not blaming JAWS for
that.=20
I was just wondering a) how JAWS defines a section and b) why pressing a
number doesn't go to the next heading of that level on the page, rather
than in that section - the JAWS help describes this keystroke as moving
JAWS to the "next heading"...
