Subject: RE: [dita] Nested index terms
That's correct. I think in real life it happens most often if somebody
clicks inside an existing index entry, and adds a secondary, without
realizing that they have split the text. For example, if you add a
secondary term to an existing "installing stuff" term just by clicking
inside the term, you could end up with:
<indexterm>installing <indexterm>on Linux</indexterm> stuff</indexterm>
In that case, the user will still want the original term intact:
installing stuff
on Linux
Or, to clarify the original sample, perhaps it should have been
<indexterm>This was divided
<indexterm>Nested 1</indexterm>
<indexterm>Nested 2</indexterm>
by accident
</indexterm>

RE: [dita] Nested index terms
I believe there are several examples in this email thread.
In my mind, it's anytime the content of an indexterm
contains what the DOM would call a text chunk (other
than all whitespace) other than as the first child of
the indexterm. So in
<indexterm>Top level
<indexterm>Nested 1</indexterm>
<indexterm>Nested 2</indexterm>
with additional text
</indexterm>
the additional text is "with additional text" because
it comes after a couple indexterm children of the
overall indexterm.
