Re: [office] Numbering spec

I have a question, which might be a little off-topic, but which I ask  
because of the way you describe this:

At a generic level, then, it seems we are talking about objects which  
are conceptually related, but have different presentation.

So if we stay at that generic level, what about images or blockquotes  
or tables that are a conceptual part of a paragraph? E.g. my  
blockquote example:

   Paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text  
paragraph text
	blockquote text blockquote text blockquote text
	blockquote text blockquote text blockquote text
	blockquote text.
   Paragraph text paragraph text paragraph text.


So those three paragraphs are in fact one.

It's always bothered me that document applications and formats don't   
correctly represent this typically (though DocBook, TEI, and XHTML  
2.0 all do), and I've even run into practical circumstances where  
this has caused problems.

The previous caption examples also seems similar.
