Ah, interesting, this opens up new perspectives, and it even makes
sense to treat paragraphs as outline elements.

The immediate problem I have of course is with sub-headings, i.e. if
paragraphs are outline level 2, then I can only have headings at
level 1.

If, however, I need two levels of headings, then paragraphs must be
on level 3, which then means that I always have to have level
2 headers, or else paragraphs get numbered e.g.

    1. My heading
    =============

    1.1. my subheading
    -------------------

    1.1.1 This is the first paragraph

    2. My second heading without subheading
    =======================================

    2.1.1 This is the first paragraph, which is a bit confusing
          because there's an extra 1. At least it's not a 0.

I know one is best advised not to mix outline aith automatic
numbering, but it'd still be rather useful, I find, to have the
ability to prepend "context" to numbering styles.

If I made a feature request about this, do you see any chance of
someone taking it on?

Thanks for all your help!
