    Hi Dave,
    Actually, the index terms link back to the top of the section or chapter
    containing the entry, and that was by Norm's design. Since there are no
    page numbers in HTML, the section title is displayed as the link. The link
    goes to the top of the section to permit multiple identical indexterms in
    the same section to collapse to a single entry. That's done to avoid having
    to repeat the section title.

    However, that behavior should probably be selectable by a parameter.
    Submit a feature request if you like.

    For fo it is reasonable to have the page number,
    for (x)html, I think the id (#REQUIRED) of the indexterm
    is reasonable for html?

    I will submit a feature request ... via the docbook list
    or ? where please?
