That seems possible - I'm already using a hacked markdown.lua which
automatically does a TOC. That kind of extra structure becomes
important as the thing gets larger, eventually a single HTML document
doesn't really cut it!

There was a request for numbering items, which is cool, except when
the document is re-ordered.

(1) edit the markdown source and post diffs against it
(2) just post items in markdown format for us to discuss
(3) Put comments here:

Contributions are most welcome - one area that needs filling out is
all those pesky corner cases of the C API, but also the simple stuff
like 'iterating over a table in C'.

Another place which is crying out for attention is the section on Web
Programming, which has precisely one sentence.
