I'm pretty sure I mentioned this already, but the docbook XSL
stylesheets pretty much have the code to do this already, it's just not
present in the "vanilla" HTML output. The Docbook to eclipse
stylesheets for example do this to produce a short XML outline file that
eclipse can use. Sadly I *really* don't understand XSLT or I would try
and hack this myself :-(
