Reusing a section view

We have a section view through an assembly. We would like to use that view 2 times on a drawing. The first view is for weld symbols and the second is to add some detail to the structure that has been cut by the section plane.
I don't see anything in ASME Y14.3-2003 that says this cannot (or can) be done.
Does anyone know of anything that would prohibit us from reusing the section view as long as both are labelled Section A-A with a secondary note about that view's usage.

I suggest using two distinct labels, since there are two separate resulting views from the same section cut. It seems that is almost what you are suggesting (using the description to make it distinct).

IMO, it seems a good idea to have "Section View' with all welds, and to call out "Details" to show the structural details as needed. So, there's no confusion for two "Section View" for the same cut-off section.
