`percent-50' and `wrap' are there for a special purpose and unique in
that concern. `wrap' is the `content' you originally requested. I did
not use my brain and called it `wrap' without any annotation.
>>> :preamble "<div id='content'>
I'd say they should have an ID assigned.

Aaah, OK, sorry for being unclear - a misunderstanding.
I did *not* mean to _change_ the structure of the XHTML in it's current
form, but simply _add_ additional containers to partition the whole
thing (just as you suggested) and thus make it possible to move certain
groups of content around through CSS.
All the "sec-" objects should go into `column-2'.
All the `sec-' objects share classes via the containers they live in:
<div id="outline-container-2" class="outline-2">
<div id="outline-container-2.1" class="outline-3">
etc.
That's already the case, and I think we don't need to change that.
* Suggestions for names
`wrap' is, what they use in typolight and some other CMSs. But
`content' sounds good to me too.
<div id="center">
<div id="wrap"><!-- or `content' -->
<div id="box-1">
<div id="table-of-contents">
...
</div>
</div><!-- end of box-1 -->
<div id="box-2">
<div id="outline-container-2" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="sec-1"><span class="section-number-2">2</span> Konfiguration </h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
...
</div>
</div>
... more sections, footnotes ...
</div><!-- end of box-2 -->
<div id="postamble">
postamble
</div>
</div><!-- end of wrap -->
</div><!-- end of center -->
