I am surprised we have this discussion now. Paged Media and parts of
GCPM have always included the ability to render a table of contents. I
don't think you ever commented that way about ToCs in the decade of
existence of these documents.

FWIW, several major industries relying on what you call the *Web*
strongly disagree with your opinion above.
