you can't.

In your case, you can as you know the Xpath that selected your list so
you can use the same filter on the following sibling:

        Next Section Importance: <xsl:value-of
        select="following-sibling::section[@importance='high']/@importance"/>

(which of course is a strange way of getting the string 'high' but in
general you might want to something more interesting with the node. 

In more complicated cases it might be easier to first sort everything
and then use a node-set() extension function to walk over the sorted
list.

Or maybe you really are asking to find the next item with some shared
charactersistic in which case you can often view the problem as a
grouping problem and use keys a la Steve Muench.
