I’m not sure how accessibility is hindered, given that the contents of
the page are still perfectly accessible. All the fixed TOC does is
obscure a very small portion of them on occasion, which can be
rectified by scrolling. I would call that inconvenient, not
inaccessible. Unless there’s more happening here beyond what I’ve
seen, that is.
