May I say something?

OK, I'll do it anyway;-)

	THANKS!

I think your suggestion covers my requirements quite well.

A couple of comments though.

First I'm not sure component-number-restart-list and 
component-number-ignore-list are really orthogonal. Especially reading your 
comment:

it seems that those functions will most often return the same list. Actually I 
don't really understand the difference between both functions.

Finally, I think you simplify a little bit the user interface for the 
following customisations:

> (define (chapter-number-sibling-list cmp)
>   (list (gi cmp) (normalize "reference")))
> (define (reference-number-sibling-list cmp)
>   (list (gi cmp) (normalize "chapter"))) 

I would hope that in any case the elements of the same type as the component 
are considered as siblings. So I would rather write:

	(define (chapter-number-sibling-list cmp)
	  (list (normalize "reference")))

	(define (reference-number-sibling-list cmp)
	  (list (normalize "chapter")))

listing only the additions to the current type.

As you can see those are rather minor points. And they would lead to 
simplifying your code.
