Re: [openreader-format] "Book Indexing" markup in XML documents ?

Some limitations of the brief sample Jon provided and IIRC of DocBook
(but lord knows, I am no DocBook expert):

* Only provides for 1 index.
* Definitionally limited number of subcatagories (this might be a
good thing, though :-)
* Cannot declare the language of the index term as being different
from the language of the content.

TEI indexing takes care of all three of these concerns. See
