At least Opera supports it.  If you have Opera, you might want to
have a look at Mark Schenk's interesting document:

  "Publishing scientific documents with XHTML and CSS"

For printing, html2ps utility provides "seq-number" option:

  seq-number
      When this flag is set, the headings in the document will be
      sequentially numbered: H1 headings will be numbered 1, 2,...,
      H2 headings 1.1, 1.2, etc. The default is 0.
