Actually, it's not as bad as all that, but to cut off "numbering
within" of something, you have to remove _all_ such numbering and
add it back in for the cases where it should be there. For
example, putting the following commands into a .sty file (say
mynumbering.sty) and using that as a style option would give the
desired result:

% First clear all numbering within for chapters:
\def\cl@chapter{}

% Next we add the items that should be reset: sections, equations
% and I think that that's all if we want figures and tables
% renumbered.
\@addtoreset{section}{chapter}
\@addtoreset{equation}{chapter}
