Thinking out loud, I see 3 obvious and easy options:

1 we make the question markup character a configurable variable, that
  defaults to 'Q' -- an administrator can then disable this by setting
  the value to (say) 'Z' (of course any Z: start of line markup will
  be included in the toc)

2 an administrator introduces q: markup with the same effect as Q:
  except that questions will be omitted from the toc -- or one could 
  make it QQ: ('quiet question') or Q*: -- whatever is most natural

3 we omit Q: markup from toc; if an author wants to include a
  question, use Q*: markup (or some other natural markup)

We might even do the following:

if $TocIncludesQuestions is true,
    Q: is included
    Q*: is excluded

if $TocIncludesQuestions is false
    Q: is excluded
    Q*: is included


So my question back is: Do you want to deactivate this

- for all questions

- for some questions

- on all pages

- on some pages
