Well, it's not just that, but also that Sphinx in general doesn't add
section numbers to the text output.  But yes, it's unfortunately a
casualty of the reStructuredText conversion.

If we have to, we'll hack together something that will add section
numbers at some point, but I'm still hoping that Sphinx upstream will add
support for this.
