RE: [xsl] Numbering of titles

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that (2) - a two-pass solution - is probably the simplest to
implement. Anything else would involve changing the code you use to generate
the XSLT stylesheet, which you probably don't want to make any more complex
than it is already.
