One thing that *might* be related to toc generation is more of a "tag  
cloud" generation thing... Heres a description of what I mean:

   Anyone got a good text-parser for tagged text?

Maybe it's heretical to suggest something like this -- either some new  
syntax would have to be introduced, or some existing syntax would have  
to be hijacked -- but it's something I'm looking for, so I thought I'd  
mention it :)

(In some ways this is more related to generating an index -- or  
multiple indices. After all, a tag cloud is just a topic index, with  
hyperlinks instead of page numbers.)
