Will the numbering module help fix the cut&paste problem?  I ended up
just adding a hack to "scrub" the page, and I just run it before
cut&pastes where I care about the numbers, which is kind of gross but
it did solve my problem...

function strip_numbers_hard()
{
    removeExisting(document.commandDispatcher.focusedWindow.document);
}

add_command("strip-numbers-hard", strip_numbers_hard, []);
// m-l is toggle, so use shift-L for destroy...
define_key(top_kmap, make_key("L",0),"strip-numbers-hard");
