Oops, I forgot about that. Thanks for adding that clarification, Fred. Back when the decision to remove numbering from the chapter titles was made (in those mists of time Fei Min mentioned), I seem to recall offering two options -- a "hidden number" kludge or no numbers in bookmarks. After we discussed the pros and cons of each option, we decided that the numbers in the bookmarks added little value, and we'd forgo them. Today, their absence seems so completely normal that I didn't even think about it. AFAIK, no one has ever missed them. If they have, they've kept it to themselves. :-) (Oh, I should mention that this is in our standard user docs template. We do have an alternate -- used primarily for lengthy, check-off-each-step installation/upgrade procedures -- in which all headings are numbered. But that has nothing to do with PDF bookmarks.)
