Before Norm jumps in :-)
Just in case anyone else is as ignorant as I (and wasteful of Norm's work?)

<example id="ex01"><title>this one</title>
<programlisting>
  .....
</programlisting>
</example>

When referenced with <xref linkend="ex01"/>

produces autonumbered output which nicely says

 'When referenced with example x.n this one'
where x is the chapter number,
n is the example number within that chapter.

What other hidden gems are there folks?
TDG isn't explicit, though the DSSSL example does show the listing.

 "D'Oh!" I'm told is the appropriate docbook expression at times
like these :-|
