Raindrops -> mru.
Your reply explains HOW the two numbers are different, which I had already
described. But that does not justify WHY the tables were required to be numbered
in two different ways; WHY both are diaplayed in the SAME format, on the SAME
screen.
To me, it is a bug because-
1. The user cannot use Navigator to go to the table he wants.
2. The dual numbering (for whatever reasons) confuses him
Specifically, could you provide rebuttals for the specific points I mentioned as
"additional notes"?
Especially see point#2 and 3 together: Because the Navigator lists the tables in
the order of their creation, its role as a map is lost!
Can you show how to use the Navigator in the following cases:
1. The text mentions a table number, and I want to jump to it.
2. I am browsing in the document, and now I want to jump to the next table.
Like the map of a city, Navigator should describe its GEOGRAPHY; not its
HISTORY.
If a tourist asks you about a landmark, will you tell him "it is located on a
road that was created 5th in the history of the city"? How is the tourist
supposed to use that information?
Instead, it would be useful to say
>> "It is straight down the road, third street from here" (relative address)
>> "On the junction of 3rd Main, 5th Cross" (absolute address)
Is there even a single use of having historical numbers for the tables?
(Consider all stakehiolders: author, reviewers, readers)
If there is not a single benefit, why have it at all?
Also, what are the disadvantages of following a single numbering scheme
everywhere?
