Neat. I'm liking that were starting to look closer to what Holo Android
users are going to expect

What about having the toc load from the far right side? During the design
guild meeting I was shown an awesome demo where a Wikipedia page had the
toc hidden on the side and opened up when the user clicked on the far left.
You would then select the part of the article you'd want and it
would disappear. It worked great. Sadly the demo of it is down :(
