Wow! Great idea! :-)

In fact I need row numbering in browsing and printing invoices. They
should be read on various platforms (Windows clients, generated HTML and
printed reports made by Windows) and it would be good to unify the
handling of enumeration. Of course, all clients can enumerate the result
somehow, but it's hard to maintain the separate codes.
