LC comment for SpecGL : 'Complexity of numbering'

Here is a last call comment from Jonathan Marsh (jmarsh@microsoft.com) 
on QA Framework : Specifications Guidelines (and Examples and Techniques)
received by the LC form system.

Submitted on behalf of: WS Description WG
Comment type: Editorial
The comment applies to: "Overall"
Comment title: Complexity of numbering

Comment:
Guidelines escape the section/technical numbering of the remainder of the document.  Why isn't guideline 1 section 2.1?  And checkpoint 1.2 section 2.1.2?  This is going to cause confusion, when others make reference to the document: if I say 3.2, do I mean a checkpoint or a section?  Section 2 is by far the bulk of the document; perhaps each guideline ought to be given a section number instead (guidelines 2 through 15, then, instead of 1 through 14).

Proposed resolution : 
Find a non-conflicting numbering scheme.
