The really big problem is that the HTML for the index, which can be rather large, would be physically included in each content page. This could make the library documentation enormous.
The pages mentioned (e.g. www.lyx.org) use some form of server-side processing like PHP scripts to add the ToC information on the fly. This is not possible for off-line documents. There are, however, several possible ways around this:
I'm not sure of the relevance of the server side scripts. Do you mean that they have the freedom to tailor content to browser capabilities, or that they avoid doc-bloat by keeping just one copy of the table of contents?
