"the xxx section OF the yyy document" or "the xxx section IN the yyy document"

Today in a book I read a sentence similar to this:

The "Conversions" section in the language specification.

Although before I have read this, I would most likely said:

The "Conversions" section of the language specification.

Is the second sentence correct? Can the both (IN / OF) be used interchangeably in this context?
