Subject: Re: FW: [dita] Index question
I'll suggest that indexterm would be part of the definition of the expanded shortdesc, within the scope of design that Michael Priestley outlined this past week. That would mean allowing its content model to include %txt.incl;, which is defined as including: '%draft-comment; | %required-cleanup; | %fn; | %indextermref; | %indexterm; (which, of course, also implicity admits fn, required cleanup, etc..)

In most indexing best practices, you do include index tags at the title level to point a reader to an entire topic. Is there a reason that an <indexterm> tag is not allowed in a topic title? Can we include it there? Why is <indexterm> not a universal attribute? It would also be useful to place an index tag at the beginning of a property list or table. JoAnn JoAnn T.
