Great idea! :-) In fact I need row numbering in browsing and printing invoices. They should be read on various platforms (Windows clients, generated HTML and printed reports made by Windows) and it would be good to unify the handling of enumeration. Of course, all clients can enumerate the result somehow, but it's hard to maintain the separate codes.
