[daisy] Chapter numbering in Book Rendering fails, if no Heading1 precedes other Headings

[Karel Vervaeke]

I think it is acceptible behaviour - you probably could solve it in
xslt, but it seems a lot more logical to just add a H1 to the first
document.

Even if you would solve it in xslt, the way the H2 of the first document
should be rendered is not well defined either:
It could be:

0.1
1.1
?.1
.1
x.1
...

in short, for solving it in xslt it should be controlled by a
publication property, e.g.

numbering.default.h1.substitutemissing=1

HTH,
