the markup was OK for HTML 4.01 Strict.

Unfortunately not. I have to confess to being a naughty boy and using
deprecated attributes in the HTML! One day I'll learn enough about CSS
to be able to do away with them, but for now I need to get this one
document out by the beginning of next week and so I'll have to leave
that for a later date!
That said, I appreciate the pointer to some very good reasons to get
away from 4.01 Transitional as soon as possible!
Many thanks,
Even a fully qualified transitional Doctype should trigger Standards Mode
in IE
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
and so give you the benefit of stability (predictability?) on your pages.
As you are adding the section numbers manually, Thierry's CSS example
should work just as well on a <ul> where all you need to do is cancel the
bullet default with
list-style-type: none;
I can't say it will improve semantics or give other benefits other than it
might make your code easier to prepare and edit thanks to the separation
from the li's.
