Because of a fat-finger error, I just found that if you embed an indexterm
inside primary or secondary of an indexterm, the result is legal DocBook
according to the 5.0 through 5.2 schemas, including Schematron.
<indexterm>
<primary>
<indexterm><primary>term</primary></indexterm>
</primary>
</indexterm>
Probably not a big deal in practice, except that it does lead to an error in an
epub when tested with epubcheck, and if the term inside the embedded indexterm
appears nowhere else, you get an error saying that there are no entries for
that index key.
If no one sees any reason for that to be valid, I can file an exception (though
I forget where, exactly, to do that:-).
Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
