| Your change was to put each figure inside a <section>
| element.  The problem here is that Norm's XSL template for
| figure xrefs generates a figure number using
| 
| <xsl:number format="1."/>

Ooops! Fixed.

Someday. For now it just does {chapter|appendix#}.figure# or simply
a global figure#.

| one line the XSL stylesheet.  In common/common.xsl,
| in the template starting with:
| 
| <xsl:template match="figure|table|example|equation" mode="label.content">
| 
| change this line:
| 
|   <xsl:number format="1."/>
| 
| to:
| 
|   <xsl:number level="any" from="chapter|article" format="1."/>
| 
| or to whatever policy you want to implement.

But don't change it in common/common.xsl! Instead, create a new
stylesheet that includes the base stylesheet and includes an alternate
definition for the template in question.

                                        Be seeing you,
