Hoi,
That would be useful when the table is static. When numbers are not static
it is only useful for one time usage. Typically it should be possible to
add numbers for one time usage.
I am afraid I don't understand you. Why is it such a big deal to change
some magic word or symbol to a dynamic row number when rendering the table?
My thought is that MW has to translate wikitables to HTML, thus it has to
generate <tr> tags that are countable. Well, rowspan may cause some
headache.
