  • Make xml:id required on start-of-range indexterms

    An ID is conceptually required on start-of-range indexterms, is it practical to make the xml:id required in the RELAX NG for this pattern?.

  • Remove common linking attributes from indexterm

    Surely it's just bizarre for indexterms to have linking attributes. What on earth could this possibly mean: foo I propose that we announce in 5.1 that we'll be removing the linking attributes from indexterm and friends.

  • Comment: Ability to transclude text.

  • Comment: indexterms in footnotes

    The intent of the additional constraint is to forbid indexterms from appearing in footnotes or in the descendants of footnotes. I agree that it's ambiguously worded at the moment and I'll fix that. It's a consequence of grammar based schema languages (like DTDs, RELAX NG, and W3C XML Schema) that it is very difficult to exclude elements from some contexts. Since indexterms are allowed in para,
