   I believe the query language (SDQL) provides functions that will
accomplish what you want.  Read through chapter 10 of the standard to
see what's available.  If you can't find a solution there, check back,
and we may be able to help you craft a solution.

My problem occurs with table and figure numbering. These can occur inside
<chap>, <sect1>, <sect2>, or <sect3> elements. If I use either child-number
or ancestor-child-number, I get the number of elements inside the current
parent element. This means that the first table in every <sect1>, <sect2>,
and <sect3> is numbered 1-1, instead of running continuously until the next
<chap> (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc.). I need the number of elements inside the
<chap> element.

Perhaps I could use the element-number-list procedure, though it is not
clear to me how to use it. How do people generally generate numbering when
the numbering has to be reset when a particular element is encountered?
