Looking the stylesheet, it appears to not be able to generate nested sections from
<h1>, <h2>, etc. headings. It only generates a single <section> element for the
entire HTML file.
The basic challenge is that plain HTML has a linear structure, in which <h2> is just
another block element like <para>, while DocBook has a nested structure where
<section> contains <title> and <para> and other <section> elements. Converting a
linear structure to a nested structure requires a more complex stylesheet than this
one.
I would suggest you try the standalone HTML-to-DocBook conversion tool "herold", which
used to be part of the dbdoclet Java app but is now a stand alone app. It can be
downloaded from:
