I have no objection to implement limited numbering in both LaTeX and
ASCII back-ends, but I'd like to know if it can be handled consistently
in every other major back-end, too. I'm CC-ing Jambunathan to know his

It would require to modify Org's syntax (how to tell which headline has
to be numbered and which has not?). It is not possible at the moment.
