The solution with counter() is simple, though:

    body {counter-reset: h1}

    section {counter-increment: h1; counter-reset: h2}
    section h:before {content: counter(h1) ".\2007  "}

    section section {counter-increment: h2}
    section section h:before {content: counter(h1) "." counter(h2) " "}

Unless there is a requirement that you didn't mention...
