RE: [docbook-apps] multi-column index does not work for DBMy mistake.  I 
thought I was running 4.9, but it was actually 4.6.  When I use 4.9, I do not 
get collapsed page sequences.

However, it seems to work when I put the xep extension property on the fo:root 
element as follows:

<xsl:attribute-set name="root.properties">
   <xsl:attribute name="rx:merge-subsequent-page-numbers">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

(and make sure the rx namespace is declared in your customization layer).

I looked through the XEP doc for 4.6 and 4.9 and I don't see any differences 
regarding this property.

  I've checked XEP 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 - they all fail to collapse page 
numbers in an index.  However, Bob wrote
  Regarding the XEP index features, I find in XEP versions 1.45 and 1.49 that 
the page sequences are collapsed.  Here are some examples from your (extended) 
document:

   
  N

  nine, 1-3

  nineteen, 1-2, 4

  ntwo, 1, 3-4


  Bob - are you sure you checked 4.9?  Looks like the XEP error might have 
appeared in 4.6 or 4.7

    I get non-collapsed page numbers too with XEP 4.10. Didn't this work before?
    I could have sworn that it did...

    See also http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/5271.html (the same
    problem, but with the index markup in XSL 1.1 syntax, not the XEP extension
    code that DocBook XSL outputs).
