If you consider the practicalities of inputting index terms, the indexer inputs each term independently and established as the source whether the term is a primary, secondary, or tertiary term. Each index items must be input independently. You're not building an index as a whole.

Thanks for answering, Paul.
I'd be interested in hearing what others think too, both in terms of what users would do/expect and in terms of what other current implementors do.
More comments below.

I don't think that Paul got an answer to his question. Your code in the second example below should generate:
Top level Nested 1 Nested 2
That's how Blast Radius implemented it anyhow.
So, am I correct to understand that you're saying that:
<indexterm>Top level <indexterm>Nested 1</indexterm> <indexterm>Nested 2</indexterm> </indexterm>
is effectively equivalent to:
<indexterm>Top level <indexterm>Nested 1</indexterm> </indexterm> <indexterm>Top level <indexterm>Nested 2</indexterm> </indexterm>
The second example should probably be treated as an error. It
Do you mean "first example" here?

is a flaw of XML schemas and DTDs (inherited from SGML!) that does not make it possible for us to specify that explicitly in the DTD/schema.

There is something about indexterm (irrespective of this current proposal) that has always concerned me: its mixed content model. Is something like:
<indexterm>Top level <indexterm>Nested</indexterm> index term content. </indexterm>
allowed (the DTD allows it)? If so, what are the processing expectations?
Also, what are the processing expectations of
<indexterm>Top level <indexterm>Nested 1</indexterm> <indexterm>Nested 2</indexterm> </indexterm>
(the DTD allows this too)?
