Well, I need to write an article with LaTeX in the following format:

I. Section 1
................
...some text ...
................

A. Subsection 1 of I
................
...some text ...
................

B. Subsection 2 of I
................
...some text ...
................

II. Section 2
................
...some text ...
................


The tricky thing here is the dot "." after each section number such as
I. A., etc.  I could redefine the \thesection and \thesubsection
command to append a ".", but when I use \ref{sec:xxx}, I also get a
dot after the section numbers.  This looks strange in the middle of a
sentence.  

Does anyone outthere have a quick solution for this problem???
