This did not make it to the list, maybe because I added an attachment.
I retry by including the stylesheet.

To answer my own question: I had the same problem a year ago, and I
believe it was David Cramer who sent me a stylesheet that appends an
<indexterm> stanza after each relevant <glossterm> entry.  At the time I
was still using DSSSL so I didn't know what to do with it.  Now I tried
it, and it gives a very good first impression.

I attach David's stylesheet.  It works as a first run of xsltproc,
producing an intermediate DocBook text that can be further processed by
xsltprocw ith another stylesheet, and fop .  I did not get it to work when
included into a stylesheet that aims to produce the .fo file in one run.
