Julian-

I would let the content define the structure. You can then choose to style it however you please. But in general, you're looking at a pretty basic header and paragraph structure with a few blockquotes thrown in there.

Personally, I'd reflow it so the headers appear above each appropriate section but using CSS you could easily style it the way it exists now.

For some examples of styling and structure of government ordinances that I've done, you could have a look at:

For something more akin to your particular situation:
