This is a bug in the file common/common.xsl
in DocBook XSL 1.18.  Norm rewrote the autonumbering
code somewhere between 1.13 and 1.18, and there is
a line missing to output the punctuation separator
for sect2 through sect5.

If you want to fix your copy of common.xsl,
here is the diff in context:

*** common.xsl     Thu Sep  7 14:15:31 2000
--- common.xsl.fixed  Thu Sep  7 14:16:40 2000
***************
*** 604,609 ****
--- 604,610 ----
          <xsl:message>label.content: this can't happen!</xsl:message>
        </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
+       <xsl:value-of select="$punct"/>
      </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

In other words, add "<xsl:value-of select="$punct"/>"
after line 606 in common.xsl (version 1.18).

Norm is on vacation, so presumably this will get fixed
when he gets back.
