Sequential and unique numbering of Diagrams

[jmirtsch]

As I understand it, for ISO documentation diagrams need a unique and sequential number. At present, this does not seem to be generated in the new documentation. The table listing is empty, http://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/annex-d.html And documentation refers to local numbering from concept markdown. Ie Figure 1 in http://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcCircle.htm

It's true, this needs a bit of work.

How urgent is this for the release? If we get an approach confirmed I'm happy to hack on it.

I would personally not use the overhead of a Redis db, but simply parse the ISO-outputted HTML from wget - kinda like a two pass generation like what LaTeX does. But more importantly I would need confirmation on exactly how the numbering would work and where it should be displayed.

Right now Annex D doesn't make sense to me unfortunately.
