Yes, the prospected exporter to atom uses body only to create html
markup for a atom feed entry where it normally makes no sense to
publish a table of contents.  Same is true for org-mime and the "Send
html messages with Wanderlust" hack.

So maybe create a body without toc when body-only is set to t and
create a body with toc when body-only is the symbol 'include-toc.
