Maybe you misunderstood something:

a) The example document is part of the message I sent and in English.

b) The class that does the HTML representation does not generate a
   table of contents because that is a bit more involved.

c) The reference to the Ruby source of the German FAQ[1] is present 
   because it implements more - like a table of contents and a LaTeX
   representation. That would have gone beyond the scope of a message
   that is nothing but a suggestion of how something could be done.

d) I would have suggested the text even if it were written in Klingon
   because the language uses does not have anything to do with the
   layout. At least if the language fits into the usual typographic
   scheme. The text could be in Turkish - it simply wouldn't matter.
