Hallelujia, brother!!  

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test='$level=1'>
    <xsl:number format="i"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test='$level=2'>
    <xsl:number format="a"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:number format="1"/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Now *that's* a syntax for laying out documentation!  Don't give me any
sissy WYSIWYG crap or stuff that even *vaguely* looks like the actual
document you are trying to produce...  It would be easy for *anyone* to
do it then...  And don't even *think* of attempting to improve on a
*standard*...

Sheesh...

Seriously - I wonder if we could make an Anakia stylesheet that worked
with a DocBook DTD...
