Hello Keith,
I know about these macros. But the macros from Kees redefined and
enhanced the .NH and .SH macros so that I didn't need to write an
extra .XS and .XE. That is what stops me from using it.
I also wonder why do I have to do this extra step. Even with plain
ms I need XS and XE to get a TOC. The other way round - have
separate argument to NH/SH to disable printing a header in TOC -
would make more sense to me.

No. We have a few user manual that already make use of Kees macros
and we don't want to switch. I would think about it if the above
mentioned feature is available.
Since I only have limited knowledge of writing groff macros at the
time writing I cannot do it myself :(
