ok, still from a newbie perspective as i work my way through the docbook book -- is there a recommended markup for a set of exercises at the end of a section, with possible sub parts to each exercise?

1. blah blah

a) part a

b) part b

2. woof woof ...

a) part a

b) more part b

... and so on. i can see the outer list can be an ordered list, but can i apply a collective numeration attribute on the entire outer ordered list, such as Arabic/loweralpha, or must i set the numeration attribute of loweralpha individually on each of the sub lists?

or is there a better way? always looking for good advice, especially if you can supply a pointer to a site with good examples i can pilfer.
