Thanks. Again, there's no rush.

I don't think how that would be a problem. A label is expected to refer
uniquely to a headline. Reflecting structure of the document is not
a requisite. "sec-NUM" is but a bonus. As far as labels go, we could
also use "headline-X" for all headlines, numbered or not.

Couldn't they be turned into "text-unnumbered-X" and
"outline-container-unnumbered-X" instead?

The former.

I think we don't need this added complexity.
