We could also revisit the idea of using the Confluence wiki for documentation....it can export to PDF (but only a page at a time I think).

There was a change from Microsoft Word to Open Office format. But other than that, I haven't touched the documentation since August 2005 (I'm ashamed to say).
But looking through the current one on the website...no it doesn't have section numbers....but it has a TOC and section headers....it's not a Tom Clancy novel, it's tech docs, so don't expect a fun read. That's not an excuse, just the way it is.
I don't recommend reading it front to back anyway. It's a reference. Try the examples and look up/search for what you need.
I somewhat agree with Larry about DocBook....but does anyone know of a good, simple docbook tool? Ted uses a commercial one that I tried and hated (but I suppose that was 3 years ago).
Any others? (I know OOo supports DocBook, but it doesn't do such a great job...it hosed the document completely when I tried the conversion).

I am not sure what the status is of the dev guide, but I do know that
it has needed work for some time, and has been neglected because of
other projects.
IMO, it would be best if we could somehow convert it to something like
docbook, and generate it from that. Any volunteers?
