It would be /real/ nice to be able to disable the TOC on a page by

Better the other way round: *request* it on a page-by-page basis.
Indeed. As I see it, right now, to avoid the mess created by a TOC which is inapplicable in many situations, an editor either has to know how to disable said TOC, or (often substantially) refactor the article; both of these form an imposition on the editor. Personally, I think TOCs should be a visibly available and recommended feature, *but* should not be enabled by default. There are too many articles to implement such a one-size-fits-all policy.
On the semi-related note of inter-article sub-linking ([[a#x]]) as opposed to intra-article sub-linking ([[#x]]), I also think that having support for this (the former) is a Bad Thing(tm); given that we are so set against it being used, adding the deprecated functionality to the system is (highly) illogical, IMO.
