Thanks a lot! I implemented the changes you propose:
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/texi2html-out/

One thing I noticed, though, is that at least Konqueror does not properly 
handle mouse-wheel scolling for divs with overflow=auto. In particular, you 
can neither mouse-wheel scroll the TOC nor the contents pane. Additionally, 
links to anchors within such a div don't work (which means that the links to 
unnumbered subsections in the lilypond docs always point to the start of the 
page, but not to the appropriate section!). Clearly, this is a browser 
bug/limitation, of course.

Firefox 3 and opera seem to handle both issues well, could you please test IE 
and Safari? In particular, try to go to section "1.1.1 Writing pitches" and 
there to e.g. "Accidentals" in the TOC. Also, please test if the mouse-wheel 
works in the contents and/or TOC pane (in Konqueror it only works when the 
cursor is on the scrollbar, but not if the mouse cursor is above text).

Cheers,
Reinhold
