The easiest way to do this is with (format-number-list) and
(element-number-list):

(format-number-list (element-number-list (list (norm "chapter")
                                               (norm "sect1")
                                               (norm "para"))
                                         snl)
                    "1"
                    ".")

(where (norm) is short for (general-name-normalize)).

HTH,
Chris
