Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Abstracts from PubMed include convenient section labels such as "Background", "Methods", and "Results" that make the content easier to read. They are part of the abstract in plain text records, and are included with the abstract when imported. This is not the case for PubMed XML, where the labels are enclosed in tags and do not get imported.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add section labels from Label= (see example) to the related content when importing abstracts from PubMed XML.
Note that labels also have a standardized translation shown as NlmCategory, which is also very useful but not available in plain text PubMed records, so I suggest including labels rather than categories in the import.

Example:
<Abstract>
<AbstractText Label="BACKGROUND" NlmCategory="BACKGROUND">This is the background section.</AbstractText>
<AbstractText Label="MATERIALS AND METHODS" NlmCategory="METHODS">The methods belong here.</AbstractText>
<AbstractText Label="RESULTS" NlmCategory="RESULTS">The results showed something interesting.</AbstractText>
<AbstractText Label="CONCLUSION" NlmCategory="CONCLUSIONS">These are the conclusions.</AbstractText>
</Abstract>
Suggested result of importing:
BACKGROUND: This is the background section. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The methods belong here. RESULTS: The results showed something interesting. CONCLUSION: These are the conclusions.
