My expierience tells me that "numbering systems" are only important to the ISO rep - the companies consultant (if one is used) and the external auditor.
When discussing corrective actions - or system documents contents with the majority of people that are responsible for them it seems to be much clearer to describe the procedure using the named title.
For example if were talking "Contract Review" and describe it as element 4.3 or section 7.2.2 makes little difference to the "end user of the document" - but in both cases if we describe it as the Contract review procedure - the user tends to gain a clearer understanding of the issue and needed actions involved.
