[Framers] FM2019 Volume and Chapter Numbering

[Peter Gold]

I'm sure you know that an all-in-one numbering scheme can be de-mystified

have you found any drawbacks to this approach, other than the problem of
getting other users to refer to the reference page? Not implying there's
anything wrong with your preferred method.
