Not without reading a lot more of XMLSpec than I want to do again.

<link rel="contents" href="#contents" />

(this is already generated in multi-page specs, so it can't be rocket  
science for the people who write the XSLT). The use case is that browsers  
can offer a consistent one-key shortcut to get to the table of contents,  
rather than bouncing around the document looking for links. It's why link  
was in HTML all those years ago.
