Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] no ranges for zoned indexterms?
The FO stylesheet doesn't implement the span feature of the zone attribute. Zone can be used to create out-of-flow indexterms. By that I mean you can put your indexterms anywhere, and the zone attribute can point to any number of ids in the document. The Definitive Guide says that zone implies a span entry that should cover the entire element, but the stylesheet doesn't try to implement that. I'm not sure why.
