Yes - and tested some paragraph options yesterday. Many thanks for the  
sample below.

But this particular project is very large with countless cross-references  
already in place that depend on the subsectioning mechanism. Is there a  
workaround that will avoid major surgery to the main text?

Also, subsubsections and subsubsubsections are still needed, as well as  
resetting the counters after each chapter etc..

In other words, what's needed is all the features of subsection without  
the titling. Just as

\start|stoptitle \start|stopsubject [etc.]

give titling without sectioning numerals, we need something like

\start|stoplabeling \start|stopsublabeling

to get sectioning numerals without titling.

(This is usually not a big deal except in cases like [alternative=text])

(And on a very tight deadline so there is little (‍= no) time to rebuild  
structure from scratch. Better to configure subsection to do what's  
needed, and perhaps use a different method for the next big project.)

So is there a way this can be done? Many thanks for your insights and help.

Can this be made into
