An interesting problem you've got yourself there.  I've played around
with the patch a little, however I don't have Feisty.

A couple of questions first:
* IIRC, the manuals on the front page were going to include links to other TOC pages, is that still correct?

* Is the left sidebar supposed to look like that on every page, or only
on the front one (reverting back to the other, older style on other TOC
pages)?

I'll also note a couple of points:
* Mixing the html links with the normal help links seems like a bad idea (to me).  There are no distinguishing between them atm. (and adding code to distinguish is pretty horrific)

* The bullet point style is to do with the CSS and is more a trial-and-
error than anything else (at least, for me it is).

* Translating the XSLT is pretty evil (I think).  Instead, somehow
managing to get the stuff into the data/toc.xml.in file would be better
(as all the translation structure in the code can handle it there).

Other than that, I think I need to play around with it somewhat more and
see what's what.
