Hi again spelunker!
The part you are missing, which we didn't really address very well, is that when you are putting together your document all of those tags are a specifically meant to define the "structure" of the document; the semantics. This is a header, this is a table, this is a division, this is a paragraph, etc. There is absolutely no discussion (well almost none...) about how it looks. With CSS you can make any of these tags look like any of the other tags... you can even make an <h5> bigger and redder and bolder and italicized, while an <h1> is miniscule/black/monoprint...that is all done with the CSS. The way something looks doesn't have anything to do with the semantic tags. Your comment about "big honking h1 titles" is simply incorrect...you just haven't used appropriate CSS styling to make them look good/better.
So using the <title> to create a ToC is using the semantic title incorrectly. A ToC describes (and provides links to) the structure of the document: chapters, sub-chapters, sections, sub-sections, etc. If you use the <title> to create the ToC, you would lose all those sections.
There is some info about the ToC generator in the Users Manual tha might help clarify it's use.
Cheers!
