Allow me to jump in with a somewhat related request:

I have run into other situations where I'd like to be able to control
ToC generation explicitly. For example: In DocBook Slides, I'd like to
generate a ToC for each foilgroup (and highlight the current position).
So far I have done this by customizing the appropriate xsl templates.
However, I think it would be very convenient for authors to be able to
explicitly request a toc at a given place, for example using a "<toc>"
element, akin to "<index>". (This could be further tuned by adding
attributes to indicate whether this should be a toc for the local
subtree, or a global one.)

Does this sound reasonable ? I will cross-post this to the docbook list,
too, as it is essentially a request for the DB grammar itself.

Thanks,
        Stefan
