I can live with an override function. I am strongly opposed to making authors have to insert a TOC tag manually into articles. For the time being, howeevr, I would like to see examples where the TOC is inappropriate before I implement the override, to avoid having unnecessary added complexity.
I think part of the problem I've been having with coming up with examples where a TOC is inappropriate/needed is that it is currently only implemented on the test Wikipedia, and I don't really spend much time just "browsing" the test server. I believe that when the TOC feature is on the live server, then cases where it needs to be overridden will become apparent. Then again, perhaps not.
Again, just as the Sticky-Note Main Page should be an optional skin, the TOC feature should be an optional user function.
*At least* initially. Neither should have been/be inserted as the new default mechanism.
