Is the use of 3.1 Term and 3.2 Time Text illustrative -??
It would be better to have it in the style of section 5

e.g.

3.1 Term 1

3,2 Term 2

3.2.1 Term 2 sub term (If this is allowed)

I hope that you have documented the specifications for each style listed - My experience has been that with Complex styles someone can very easily corrupt the style (and then try to repair it) and then the Editor without a Style specification may copy something in which just does not work!!!!

Final comment

Are The submission for SMPTE 2020 having a similar documents giving places for how they are Styled/ formatted!.,

MAIN BODY HEADING AND LIST STYLE (OUTLINE) SPECIFICATIONS
Heading 1: Arial 14, List (Outline) Style: SMPTE Main Body Outline
Heading 2: Arial 12, List (Outline) Style: SMPTE Main Body Outline
Heading 3 and beyond: Arial 10, List Style: SMPTE Main Body Outline

Heading 2 Terms and Defs: Arial 12, , List (Outline) Style: SMPTE Main Body Outline
Heading 3 Terms and Defs: Arial 10
The reason that Terms and Definitions require their own heading styles is that they cannot appear in the Table of Contents.

ANNEX HEADING AND LIST STYLE (OUTLINE) SPECIFICATIONS
Heading 1: Arial 14, List (Outline) Style: SMPTE Annex Outline
Heading 2: Arial 12, List (Outline) Style: SMPTE Annex Outline
Heading 3 and beyond: Arial 10, List Style: SMPTE Annex Outline
The reason that there is a separate outline style for the annexes, is that the tables, figures and equations do not number properly otherwise.

Even if applied correctly, Word can corrupt the outline numbering. I think that multiple tracked changes can sometimes interfere. Word also has a lot going on under the hood when it comes to numbering, and sometimes the gremlins take over. I have closed documents that look fine upon closing, and then corrupted when reopened. I have been able to fix any issues, but the fix is not always straightforward. I recommend that if possible, create the outline first, and then add the content.

I have also found on occasion that closing and opening the document sometimes, although not always, can fix numbering issues.
