Not only is the markup of the TOC dreadfully invalid, it looks really weird 
seeing both bullets and numbers.
How about omitting the numbers from the text and simply using ordered lists

<OL>
 <li>First section</li>
 <li>Second section
    <ol>
	<li>the second section has</li>
      <li>two subsections</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
etc.

and set the list-types via the skin stylesheet: e.g.
OL {list-style:upper-roman;}
OL OL {list-style:decimal;}
OL OL OL {list-style:lower-roman}
This also leaves better scope for internationalization: list numberings 
include hebrew, katakana, georgian etc.
