I go with AA, BB, CC... (sure it's the reverse application of theater
seating, but then our telecom's CEO once directed regular quality
routes be called 'prime' and high-quality routes be called 'select',
the reverse of the beef industry).

That is a little confusing and inconsistent with some government,
construction, electrical engineering, and mining document standards.
Appendices are any support documents that pertain to the document being
written. If you are writing a document to support a mining project and
you need to provide all of the research, analysis, policies, laws,
geological studies, and other information with your document and those
support documents can get to number over 100, then you need an appendix
numbering system that will make sense at the first appendix, A, and at
the last, even if it is 200 documents down the line. Combining alpha
and
numbers is also confusing because the count of single digits changes
from 26 to 9 (or 10 if zero is used).
