I don't have a big problem with self-linking for a heading that isn't
in the TOC.

The only heading that's in the TOC in the MPL docs is
the one at the top of the page. For that, as Daryle noted,
there's a simpler way to grab the URL: get it from the
address bar.

I don't care so much about that topmost heading. I care
about the ones down under. It just so happens that with
BoostBook, you can't really know in advance which headings
will be a top-page heading. In BoostBook, the user has control
over the chunking of the pages to html. You can, for example have
it all dumped into one big html file or small, fine grained
html files. So, QuickBook does not really have any knowledge
if it's a top-page section or not, and change the behavior
accordingly. XSLT has that knowledge, though, so the smarts
can be moved there. However, I don't quite like having different
behavior for top-headings and sub-headings. IMO, we should have
one and only one behavior for all headings, else kill it
altogether.

Maybe the only right way to resolve this in the end is to get Jonathan
Turkanis' menu control integrated with BoostBook.

Maybe :) Or the one Vladimir pointed out.
