Start Counting from Attribute Value

FWIW: We use a structure like this:
<att>
<specval attname="label" attval="#ANY">
<fillval attname="label" fillcat="savetext" fillchar="conrule">
<charsubset>
<savetext textid="chapternumber.txt">
</att>

chapternumber.txt is enumerated earlier in the e-i-c. This specval
overrides/resets/sets normal enumeration. In some documents, all chapters
have label set so chapters number properly outside of the document. On other
documents, no chapters have label set because they're only ever reviewed as
documents. You can't mix and match for long without stepping on your own
toes.

On lists (<att> not shown), this same strategy allows authors to manage
lists across otherwise-resetting boundaries. Like table rows. Don't ask.
