numbering; and return key

	I'm a longtime MORE user (also PCOutline and ThinkTank), that has just 
discovered this list.  So pardon me if I'm going over old ground, but the 
main thing that I miss between MORE and OmniOutliner is MORE's ability to 
add numbers to the outlines, especially the "Harvard" numbering system:
I
    A
       1.
          a.

etc.

	Such numbering is practically essential when navigating through big 
outlines, especially if they've been printed out. It would be a great 
addition to OmniOutliner.

	Also, as far as the recent discussion over the return key, I may be in 
the minority, but I greatly prefer the MORE approach in which hitting 
return adds a new item wherever the cursor is.  In fact, on the rare 
occasions when I've tried "outliners," in word processors,  such as the 
one in Word, this is the missing MORE feature that I first noticed.   
Command-return or option-return seems like a better approach for splitting 
the entry at the cursor.
