Just testing understanding..
doc has entities which refer to sect content
sect-header-n also refers to same entities?
(bypassing the header files?)

No, with the above solution, I have figured out I can use
the section number (position()) to get the section numbering,
apparently xt has no problems with big files, its just me :-)

I might even post a demo solution (now that would be a first).

Thanks David. Appreciated.
