Can you give an example of what those locators would look like in the context 
of HTML and ePub, which have no fixed page numbers?

Thanks for the link:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.links.to.section.html



Changing the parameter to 0 links the <indexentry/> directly to the appropriate 
point in the text.
Can the generated index linked be changed to reflect the paragraph/line number, 
or something other than the chapter/section title.
Locators like those in pdfs generated via FO are ideal. 
I am aware that the index.prefer.titleabbrev can also be set to 1, or the 
default 0, but this is not desire-able in the documents at hand.

  Now I know where to change a parameter.
  I'll give that a go.

    As HTML doesn't use page numbers you need another anchor -- only
    sensible anchor with a label is the closest section with the title.

    Yes, just set the following parameter to 0:

    
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.links.to.section.html

    You don't even need to manually assign IDs for this, they can be
    autogenerated.
