I just tested this. It doesn't work. So, either the template doesn't do
what I thought it should, or there are other templates involved. I'm
curious now, though, so I'll poke around at this one for a bit more before I
give up.

There's no parameter or other easy method for doing this, but I was just
looking through the labelling code and found this template:
<xsl:template name="label.this.section">
<xsl:param name="section" select="."/>
<xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
</xsl:template>
My guess is that if you change that to this:
<xsl:template name="label.this.section">
<xsl:param name="section" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="elementname" select="local-name($section)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$elementname = sect1">
<xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$elementname = sect2">
<xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$elementname = section">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($section/ancestor::section > 2)">
<xsl:value-of select="$section.autolabel"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
you will get what you want.

I have a situation where I'm numbering the chapters and sections 1-2,
but now one of my "sect2"'s contains a huge amount of text that has
subsections, and I don't want them numbered (as the numbering gets a bit
ridiculous, 1.1.1.1.1.2).
Or is there a another tag that will allow my to have something like
sections but without numbering?
