Hi Patrick, You wrote:

Especially since the information in the compound numbering could be looked upon as content anyhow.
Another consideration is also that this seems to me, in this particular case, to contradict "6.1 Organize documents so they may be read without style sheets. For example, when an HTML document is rendered without associated style sheets, it must still be possible to read the document." If the numbering is set via CSS2, then without an associated style sheet the numbering won't match (if, for instance, you're doing a table of contents with the numbering reflecting the number given to sections/headings).
Excellent point and a very appropriate concern if you are thinking of the visitor's need to be able to follow the organization of the document.
