The more I look at this, the more I like your idea of having it 
position:fixed in the right gutter.

This would solve several problems:
* the narrow body area
* the need to jump around within the document
* the TOC conflicts with tables, images, and other wider content

I vote in favor of moving the TOC to the right gutter, at least for a 
trial run.


At some point, we should think about how this is rendered on narrow 
screens, and how we do the TOC on mobiles. I've always like the idea of 
doing an accordion-style interface [1] (explanation [2]) like Wikipedia 
has, but more customized for our setup and layout.
