>Section numbering illuminates the logical structure of the document <snip> Scanning back for the next-higher-level numbered head is something readers know how to do with numbered sections,
This illustrates the only problem I have with Section numbering. Sections are a collection of chapters. Sections are also numbered sub-sets of chapters. When I have a cross-reference to a numbered section, I don't want to use the word "section" because that refers to a different kind of entity. I don't want to say "paragraph", because that is not really correct either.
Any suggestions?
