No, Alexander, it's not really mathematical at all. But it is quite like the outline numbering system that is a standard feature in just about any word processor (for example, FrameMaker, MS Word). And, FWIW (although only Allie seems to have a block here), in the outline numbering system, 3.9 would be followed by 3.10. So anyone who has read a book with numbered chapters and sections should be familiar with the system. -- jaywalker Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
