Yes, Python-Markdown has an extension [1] that does this.
Unfortunately, its not documented properly yet (it hasn't been
officially released yet either), but it works on the same basic
premise as your third suggestion. It uses all the headers to build a
nested list and then either inserts that list at the location of the
marker ``[TOC]``, or if the marker is not found, at the beginning of
the document.
