I was somehow forgetting to put level="any" in my XSL 
(I'm using an XSL editor). It also helped to read the 
spec on xsl:number. *sigh*

Actually 'from' needed to be "body/section", but now it 
works, thank you. (And thanks to eveyone else who 
responded and told me the the answer ages ago too, 
d'oh)
