If you have a proposal for HTML/XHTML, www-html@w3.org would be more
appropriate. If your proposal is related to styling, www-style@w3.org
would be better.

You might want to have a look at how CSS handles numbering:
CSS2, "12.5 Automatic counters and numbering" (Recommendation)
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#counters
CSS 2.1, "12.4 Automatic counters and numbering" (Candidate Recommendation)
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/generate.html#counters
CSS3 Generated and Replaced Content Module, "8. Automatic counters
and numbering" (Working Draft)
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-css3-content-20030514/#counters

FYI, Amaya let you number section headings quite easily:
