No, that's letting a detail design the structure.

Have a look at I-D draft-ietf-nntpext-base-20. Every command (the sections
with uppercase names from 5.1 to 8.6.2) has further subsections that don't
need to be in the TOC. I don't want 7.1.3 or 7.6.1.3 to be included. On the
other hand, I do want 3.2.1.1 in the ToC.

Look at sections 5 to 7. They are structured correctly in my opinion. In
each case I want to omit all sub-sections further down the tree.

If you don't want to look at the draft, here's a diagram of the structure
of section 7:

    7
    |
    +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
    |       |       |       |       |       |
    7.1     7.2     7.3     7.4     7.5     7.6
    |       |       |       |       |       |
    [7.1.1] [7.2.1] [7.3.1] [7.4.1] 7.5.1   +---------+-------+-+---+
    [7.1.2] [7.2.2] [7.3.2] [7.4.2]         |         |       | |   |
    [7.1.3] [7.2.3] [7.3.3] [7.4.3]         7.6.1     7.6.2   ...   7.6.5
                                            |         |             |
                                            [7.6.1.1] [7.6.2.1]     [7.6.5.1]
                                            [7.6.1.2] [7.6.2.2]     [7.6.5.2]
                                            [7.6.1.3] [7.6.2.3]     [7.6.5.3]

where sections in brackets are omitted from the ToC.

No, it's just that my logic isn't as simplistic as yours.

As I've said in another message, I can live with this being a property on
the parent (here, 7.1 to 7.4 and 7.6.1 to 7.6.5).
