Apropos flatness. I recommend not to branch out the ToC excessively.
I think 3 branches should be pretty enough.

Agree

How do you want it. As a XML document like the existing book.xml or a
text document describing the new structure?
I booked in a newtoc.xml and I did something like that:
<menu label="Getting started">
  <menu label="What you should know/read">
    <menu-item label="XML references" href="" type="visible" /> 
    <menu-item label="Avalon" href="" type="visible" /> 
  </menu>
  <menu label="Basics">
    <menu-item label="Pipeline processing" href="" type="visible" /> 
  </menu>
  <menu-item label="Quick setup/installation" href="" type="visible" /> 
</menu>
to display the structure. But I don't know if the nested <menu label/>
tags will work.
Any better suggestions?

Better not ;)
