I finally got something to work that I'm reasonably happy with.  I
used jquery to provide a resizable and collapsible table of contents
with a side pane using style sheets and a bit of custom javascript.
It requires only a tiny bit of modification to the resulting .html
file (to add a reference to the javascript file), and no modifications
to any XSL stylesheets.

The reason I say "reasonably happy" is that the display in IE doesn't
work quite right.  I can't get it to stop wrapping whitespace in the
toc pane.  Now that the holiday season is just about over for me, I
won't have much more time to play for a bit, so if anyone is
interested, I can send you (or post) the jquery instructions and the
custom javascript and CSS.  I really don't think its quite ready for
prime time though, so unless you are willing to hack on it, I wouldn't
get too excited.
