Maybe what we need is a Table of Contents at the top of each page (or at least the Monastary Gates).

FWIW I consider that a wonderful idea, well if not applied to every page that is, but certainly to The Monastery Gates. Particularly useful it would be, if it were possible to somehow manage to make it "unconventional" in that rather than being a single vertical list, would it include several columns, with most of the sections visible at a glance. Perhaps, to make things easier and not too obtrusive, only a very few nodes should be indexed anyway: chosen amongst those that have been frontpaged, of course, but with the higher reputation... so yes, that would form a bias too... but at least equally divided amonst all sections.
