I've been following this thread with some interest. The suggestion to add @toc="no" to the topicrefs is only valid if you have the ability to control the maps or ask authors to do so; that is not always possible. Sometimes we have to process content from an OEM or partner as they give it to us; we can't ask them to change their files. Having a parameter to control the TOC depth with ditac would be useful here. Otherwise, the suggestion to post-process the XSL-FO seems most valid.
What options are available without changing the source content?
