I'm not sure what freedom this means; XML still needs to run through a
script, just as Word does.

Commercial software allows BIBTEX references to be imported into
citation databases, so this is moot as well.

I checked your three current I-Ds and five RFCs, and the most complex
numbering I saw was "G1, G2, ...", "P1, P2...", and paragraphs numbered
"G.1:, G.2:...". Word has been able to handle all of these since the
late 1980's. Was there a more complex example I missed, or one in a
pending document that hasn't been issued that you could give as an example?
