I did not think about it. One solution is to write headers with a
starred form, e.g. <h2*>Section 2</h2*>, starred tags are
not interpreted by WML.

An alternative is to redefine how headers are written into ToC.
You may try
  #use wml::std::toc
  <define-container toc_section whitespace=delete>
  <when <lt %0 2>>
  #  Below is the original replacement text of toc_section
  %body
  </when>
  </define-container>

  <h1>Chapter 1</h1>
  <h2>Section 1</h2>
  <h2>Section 1</h2>
  <h1>Chapter 2</h1>
  <h2>Section 1</h2>
  <h2>Section 1</h2>
  <toc>

But there are unwanted newlines. To remove them, you may write
  {:[[s/\n\n+/\n/g]]
  <toc>
  :}

When you render ToC with another style, e.g. style=ol, you have to
adjust the definition of toc_section. Use <function-def toc_section>
to print its definition and paste it into the newer one.

Looks ugly :-(
I will try to improve it in future releases.
