[dita] some index-range-* questions

    Hello everyone,
    
    Could someone please state as simply as possible (for those like me who
    aren't XML design experts)exactly that the problem is?
    
    I think I understand Chris's point about asking authors to add an
    attribute and an ID every time they want an index range. Indeed awkward.
    
    
    What I don't understand is what exactly is the problem we're trying to
    solve. I know there is concern about having to remember the end tag and
    having to repeat the exact text of the index terms, sans spaces or other
    extraneous bits. 
    
    If we can all understand the problem in the same way, that will help
    facilitate this afternoon's meeting.
