Bob,
thanks for the quick clarification. I'm not sure whether to be happy
about the fact that the current behavior is a feature, not a bug. :-)

Suggestions for alternate designs in HTML output are welcome.
I'm not quite sure I have better ideas, though I certainly don't find
the current behavior intuitive.
In particular, "DocBook: The Definitive Guide"
contains this description for indexterm:
"In other words, the IndexTerm is placed in the flow of the document at
the point where the IndexEntry in the Index should point."
Compare that to
"The links go to the top of the section rather than to the anchor point
within the section. That's done 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."
from the your book (the link you just pointed me at). Aren't these two
statements contradictory ?
I'd compare this with a paper book? The index entry points to the page
(pedantically the top of the page) on which the entry resides?
The current feature is 'web equivalent' to that?
Re differentiation, I've always believed that secondary and tertiary
terms were used for that?
primary p100
primary
secondary p100
Would that meet your needs in terms of display?
