The thing is, the docstring is not consistent with the code.  It would
make my life easier if the code was changed to match the docstring, but
I would also be okay if the opposite happened.

I am also looking forward to the new exporter being ready, but I guess
this small issue should be fixed in the current exporter until it is.

I have attached the patch that I suggested for the HTML exporter.

Cheers,
Chris

Subject: [PATCH] Bring the meaning of body-only in org-export-as-html closer
 to docs

The docstring for org-export-as-html says "When BODY-ONLY is set,
don't produce the file header and footer, simply return the content of
<body>...</body>, without even the body tags themselves."  However, it
currently also inhibits the generation of the table of contents,
regardless if one is asked for by the user in the #+OPTIONS line of
the file.  This patch fixes that (i.e. allows for toc generation if it
is requested).
