Is nesting limited?  Is item 2.3.5.(a).4.i.12.a.1 possible?  Perhaps
you  can combine  gallyes for  outer  levels with  fancy headings with
lists for inner levels with run-in numbers.  I guess you could do with
a tweaked setup file and a handful of macros.

That 2.3.5.mumble number is not to mock you.  The deepest nesting I've
actually seen is, e.g. 1.2.1.2.4.2.4.1.1.1.2.2.3 - in a commentary
written by the first Sakya patriarch.  And I'm sure there are examples
of deeper nesting, since Tibetan authors just positively love it that
way, thought they use a different serialization technique for
presenting these deeply nested structures - but that's too far a
digression.
