(For later. I need to better understand the difference between
validation candidate and
section)

Exactly.

In that case you can create a validation candidate

Yes (Although this assumes I will use the atom schema with no changes).

So the xhtml section will be validated twice.

1 ) Using the atom schema (not really validation)
2 ) Using the xhtml schema (with a start element of div).

Yes. Makes good sense.
