I'm sure that he means the HTML file that functions as the human reader's mthod of navigating around an eBook, if they are a) reading a MOBI, generally, or b) using some reader that doesn't use the NCX as its navigation for the reader, as opposed to the device.

^ This. If there's some rule, someplace, saying that the HTML TOC has to have a link to everything, whoooooooooooo, boy, I'm in trouble. We make HTML TOC's every day that don't have links to everything. Spine, yes. The optional TOC? Nah.
