No, you want to have HTML/CSS compute the numbers, remember. :)

Yes, I do remember that discussion, and if I ever get XHTML output working at all, then we can talk again. ;-) But this won't help with InsetRef, since XHTML has no version of \ref, so far as I know. So we have to do that manually, if we want to display counter numbers.

Disclaimer: I know basically nothing about CSS!

One thing I am worried about in this CSS business is that I think the html/mathml output will probably become the best path to OO or MSWord export format in a not too far term. Another thing is that the clipboard can now be extended to support html in addition to text and graphics and I am wondering if this CSS business is going to ruin that. Please tell me that everything's gonna be OK :-)

XHTML output will depend pretty heavily upon CSS to configure display, but I am trying as much as possible to use generic HTML for indicating document structure. (That's the main idea: CSS is for presentation only.) In so far as that is done, we should be OK, so far as import into Word etc goes. It's hard to say about the use of CSS for counters, without really looking. I expect Word etc would just ignore those, and then we would hope that it would use its own counter mechanism. But I don't know.
