How about _should_ solve different problems. I hesitate to speak for
Simon, let alone web developers that I really don't know, but I find it
an expensive pain in the rear to have another step in my pipeline doing

<xsl:template match='section'>
	<h2>SECTION
	<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
	...

merely because

section:before {
content:	"SECTION " counter(secnum) " " ;
}

doesn't work
