    Subject: indexing question


    Looking at the 1.1 DTDs, as far as I can tell,
    indexterm isn't allowed as a child of topic.
    In fact, the earliest indexterm is allowed
    in a topic seems to be within keywords within 
    metadata within prolog.
    
    Suppose one wants to use index-range-start and
    index-range-end to index an entire topic.  It
    seems the soonest one can put the index-range-start
    in a topic is within the prolog.  But suppose one
    has an abstract longer than a page.  Then the
    index-range-start within the prolog (which follows
    the abstract) will not pick up the first page of
    the topic.
    
    This seems to be a problem.  Do we need to allow
    indexterm in title, perhaps?  Is there a better
    solution?
    
    I think we are also going to have a similar problem
    at the bottom of a topic.  Suppose the last thing
    in your topic is related-links.  Where can you put
    the index-range-end so that you can be sure it is
    on the last page of the topic?
