Clarification of implications of index-see-also
The language reference entry for index-see-also says:

"In addition to its "see also" redirection, an index-see-also

functions as a pointwise indexterm, thereby typically generating a

page reference as well as the "see also" indication."

Given this index markup:

<index-term>
apple
<index-see-also>AAPL</index-see-also>
</index-term>

Is the intent that there will be a page number reference to this
index-term's location for both "apple" and "AAPL" or only for "apple"?

There must be a page number reference for "apple" at this term's location,
that is clear (because the see-also doesn't change the basic functioning of
the index term as a point reference).

The question is whether or not the spec is requiring an additional entry for
"AAPL" at this location or if the intent is that the see-also just points to
the named term?

Cheers,

E.
