That's the current behavior of `LaTeX-mark-section'.  What Matthieu
was proposing is that "section" means everything from the previous to
the next sectioning command with the same or a higher level.

In both cases the marked region would be the one between the two
lines shown below.

chapter
section
-----------------
subsection
_cursor_
-----------------
subsection
section

The behavior would differ if you put point between the section and
the subsection:

Current behavior       Proposed behavior

chapter                chapter
-----------------      -----------------
section                section
_cursor_               _cursor_
-----------------      subsection
subsection             subsection
subsection             -----------------
section                section
