Hi Arnold,

        @cindex main topic, secondary point, tertiary point
        ...
        <indexterm><primary>main topic</primary><secondary>secondary 
point</secondary><tertiary>tertiary 
point</tertiary></secondary></primary></indexterm>

Well, as you know, support for the usual index features has been on the
todo list forever.  I can't imagine having the time and energy to deal
with them in the foreseeable future.  (Maybe some new person would like
to drive Texinfo?)

Anyway, as a workaround for your immediate needs, maybe Patrice can
point you to a hook into the Docbook output where you can tinker with
the index output easily enough.  Patrice?

(BTW, if it were me, I would not use commas, because commas are often
used in index entries without any desire for subterms.  Even when the
index does support subterms.  Some magic character like | seems like it
would be better.  But of course for real support one would want
@commands anyway.)
