epub backmatter appendix support

Hi,

I'm trying to convert markdown files into a single epub. The problem is 
that I didn't find out any good way to place the appendix. the epub 
standard supports backmatter and appendix 
(http://www.idpf.org/epub/profiles/edu/structure/#h.bd4uivk2tanq).
I want the toc to be generated accordingly. All the headlines should be 
numbered like 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on. The appendix should be 
numbered like A., B. and so on. How could I do this?

Also in the epub standard are a log of attributes which are used by epub 
readers (at least should be used) but pandoc doesn't allow them to be used 
inside the AST because since epub is using HTML5 it always prepends the 
attributes with "data-" (e.g.: <h1 id="foo" 
data-epub:type="appendix"></h1>) This is bad because you always need a 
RawBlock inside the AST to work around this. Is there a way to stop pandoc 
from adding "data" to every non HTML5 attribute?

There are epub:types for frontmatter, bodymatter and backmatter. Also for 
appendix and alot of other stuff. This should be considered when generating 
an epub. Especially for the toc.

Thanks in advance

I suppose these issue are related.

We could tweak the section numbering algorithm so that
sections with epub:type="appendix" get different kinds
of numbers.

The other issue, prepending data-, should be easy to
fix, as long as the relevant attributes all start with
the "epub:" prefix.

Can you put an issue on the issue tracker for this,
including a link to the URL you link to below?

I've modified the HTML writer (also used for EPUB) so
that data- won't be added to epub: attributes.

The other change (numbering) would be more difficult.
For now I'd suggest using the .unnumbered class for
these sections.
