| First of all I get a Jade error:
| 
| jade:docbook/html/dbparam.dsl:890:28:E: attempt to use current node when there 
| is none

Odd.  Can you send me the instance that does this?

| And here is what I get now (both in TOC and document):
| 
|  I. part
| 	1. Chapter
| 		SimpleSect*
| 	I. Reference
| 		RefEntry*
| 	II. Reference
| 		RefEntry*
| 
| Whereas it should be:
| 
|  I. part
| 	I. Chapter
| 		SimpleSect*
| 	II. Reference
| 		RefEntry*
| 	III. Reference
| 		RefEntry*
| 
| (note the continuous numbering across different types of
| elements at the same level).

Ah, well.  Hmm.  The former case, the numbering you see now, is
intentional.  Although I can see that the latter case also makes
sense.

Anyone else want to weigh an opinion about which makes more sense?

| Do you think such numbering makes sense or do I rather have these kind of 
| problems because I'm misusing Docbook?

There's no misuse, it's just a matter of style (no pun intended).

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
