I agree that when people digitally sign a contract, they'll want to sign some "presentation form". The scenario in which auto numbering is very important is negotiation. If two parties are trying to negotiate a contract, they'll be exchanging drafts. And they will _not_ want to manually number the clauses in the draft contract. they don't do that with Word, and they don't need to do it with XML Contracts.
