I only considered that for half a second before deciding it would be a
very silly things to waste tens of hours of my time on. ;) If you
really want to do this then check out the way that footnotes and
ulinks are counted inside chapters in Norm's stylesheets.  There may
be some code you can use there, but I definitely think a simple
attribute is the way to go for now.

You could probably add a pre-processing step in XSLT to add the
attributes automatically.
