Hi John,

I may not be an "expert" in JATS but as far as I know, numbered sections in 
JATS are as follows:

<sec sec-type="intro">
    *<label>1</label>*
    <title>Introduction</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="methods">
    *<label>2</label>*
    <title>Methods</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="cases">
    *<label>3</label>*
    <title>Cases</title>
    <p>...</p>
    <sec>
        *<label>3.1</label>*
        <title>Case 1</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
    <sec>
        *<label>3.2</label>*
        <title>Case 2</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
    <sec>
        *<label>3.3</label>*
        <title>Case 3</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="discussion">
    *<label>4</label>*
    <title>Discussion</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="results">
    *<label>5</label>*
    <title>Results</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="conclusions">
    *<label>6</label>*
    <title>Conclusions</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>

When I use the *--number-sections* command in pandoc nothing happens but by 
passing the metadata command *chapters:true* the output is like:

<sec sec-type="intro">
    <title>*1*Introduction</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="methods">
    <title>*2*Methods</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="cases">
    <title>*3*Cases</title>
    <p>...</p>
    <sec>
        <title>Case 1</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
    <sec>
        <title>Case 2</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
    <sec>
        <title>Case 3</title>
        <p>...</p>
    </sec>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="discussion">
    <title>*4*Discussion</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="results">
    <title>*5*Results</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="conclusions">
    <title>*6*Conclusions</title>
    <p>...</p>
</sec>

Hope it helped!

Kind Regards,
Tiago Manzato
