This seems to pretty much do what I need.
One last point: Is there any way to get a rendered copy of a particular section on its own.
I'll try to avoid asking you to implement things that already work in the future :).
Thanks very much. Tom.

Sorry - Insufficient reading on my part. This only seems to be able to go down one level of depth (i.e one can't get subsections) - but this is probably good enough for most purposes - particularly the one I had in mind.
Is there a way getting a list of the section names directly? I can't seem to find a command in index.php, api.php or query.php.
Currently, there isn't. I'll see if I can add such a feature tomorrow (I'm in Europe and it's 22:45 right now).
This is sort of possible already:
api.php?action=parse&text={{:My_page}}__TOC__&prop=sections
However, this won't give the expected result when trying to get the section tree of a template that has sections inside <noinclude> tags. In that case, you should use: (not available on the live servers yet)
api.php?action=parse&page=Template:My_template&prop=sections
But that in turn has the drawback of not generating a section tree if there are three sections or less, or if there's a __NOTOC__ somewhere. In that (rare) case, you should probably accept that you're screwed.
