For LaTeX/PDF output, you can use the "--no-section-numbering" option
(keeping the .. sectnum:: directive) to let LaTeX do the numbering. Then
use raw LaTeX commands to re-set the section counter(s).

For HTML output, disable section numbering and add the section numbers
via CSS (give a special class to the sections that should re-start the
counting).
