Subject: Re: DocBook V4.0beta1
I had never heard Highlights described as cooked (derived object?). For us, the Highlights section is an authored overview of the chapter. It's a little weird to put indexterms in an overview or summary, but not _that_ weird. An author who wrote a longish highlights section might want to index the highlights because it has the best one-line description of a feature. What about the XML version -- aren't we going to have to allow IndexTerms in Highlights there? To disallow them in XML sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
