Understood.

We didn't know that.

It works like this just by luck.

It's currently not possible to have TOC entries corresponding to the 
index, LOT, LOF and other frontmatter or backmatter material.

This limitation is not documented because we were not aware that DITA 
allowed to do this.

We'll reread the DITA spec and check what you are saying (navtitle means 
add it to the TOC).

We'll try to implement this feature in the next release of ditac. But if 
this is too much work, then we'll document this as a limitation.
